# Halloumi in an air fryer

**halloumi in an air fryer: 190 °C / 374 °F for 6–9 min**

Oven equivalent: 200 °C / 392 °F for 15–20 min

An air fryer is a small convection oven, so halloumi cooks at 190 °C rather than 200 °C and takes 6–9 min instead of 15–20. That is roughly the usual 20 °C drop and a fifth off the time, though this one needs more of a drop than the rule suggests — see below.

## Side by side

|  | Oven | Air fryer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Temperature | 200 °C / 392 °F | 190 °C / 374 °F |
| Time | 15–20 min | 6–9 min |
| Preheat | Yes | Yes, 3 minutes |
| Turn or shake | — | Turn once at the halfway point. |

## What goes wrong

- Cut at least 1 cm thick. Thin slices dry to rubber before they colour.
- Pat dry first — halloumi is stored in brine and the surface water has to go before browning begins.

> Air fryer wattage and basket size vary widely, so treat the first batch as a calibration run and write down what worked. These figures are compiled guidance, not a published standard.
