• Halloumi Tray Bake

I always have a block or two of halloumi cheese in the fridge. It's great for making a quick dinner or lunch, whether halloumi fajitas or burgers. it always comes in handy!

This halloumi traybake is such a great one-pan dish, it is so easy to make and you can easily adapt it to include your favourite vegetables. It's packed with veggies and served with red pesto, giving this dish plenty of flavour. And with the bonus of minimal washing up, what's to love?

🛒 What You'll Need

• Halloumi - I use one block of halloumi for this which is enough for 4 but you could add another one if you like. Look for authentic halloumi of Cypriot origin if you can, this will have the best quality.
• Potatoes - Mini new potatoes are great in this but you can use other potatoes just make sure and cut them into bite-size pieces.
• Vegetables - I use a mix of red pepper, yellow pepper, courgette (zucchini), broccoli, cherry tomatoes on the vine, brown onion and courgette for this recipe.
• Herbs - You will need dried oregano, garlic, salt and black pepper.
• Other ingredients needed - olive oil, extra virgin olive oil and red pesto.

🔪 How To Make Halloumi Tray Bake 

Please see the recipe card below for full instructions and ingredients.

1. Place the potatoes in a single layer on a large roasting tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place in a preheated oven at 180°C fan and cook for 15 minutes.

2. Next, add the onion wedges, the garlic cloves and the broccoli to the tray. Toss them with the potatoes, return the tray to the oven and cook for 7 minutes.

3. Now add the remaining vegetables. Sprinkle a tablespoon of dried oregano over everything, season again with salt and black pepper and toss everything together. Finally, place the slices of halloumi on top of the vegetables, drizzle everything with a little more oil if needed, then bake in the oven for 20- 25 minutes.

4. Mix the red peto with a tablespoon or two of extra virgin olive oil. Serve the halloumi bake then add a drizzle of the red pesto over each serving. 

​🔄 Variations

• Swap the potatoes for sweet potato or butternut squash. These also take less time to cook, so please adjust the cooking time accordingly.
• You could also swap the brown onion for red onions, this will give the bake a little extra sweetness.
• Add some spice! Try adding chilli flakes or swap the red pesto for harissa paste.
• Add more protein by adding some chickpeas or other cooked, black beans or kidney beans would work great.
