Easy Crispy Baked Garlic Halloumi Bites You’ll Crave Every Time

Ingredients

• 1 block Halloumi cheese (Choose a firm block that holds shape when baked for the perfect bite.)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil (A drizzle helps the halloumi crisp up beautifully while adding rich flavor.)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced (Fresh garlic packs in aromatic, savory notes.)
• 1 tsp Dried oregano (Classic herb choice for an earthy, Mediterranean touch.)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (Sprinkles on top brighten flavor and add a pop of green.)
• 1 tsp Black pepper (Freshly cracked for gentle heat that complements the cheese’s saltiness.)
• 2 pieces Lemon wedges (Balances richness with fresh acidity.)
• 2 tbsp Honey drizzle (Adds a sweet contrast that makes the crispy bites even more addictive.)
