Air Fryer Pear and Halloumi Fans with Pistachio, Rosemary Honey and Lemon

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the Air Fryer to 190 °C / 375 °F for 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Wash the pears, cut each into 8 wedges, and remove the seeds. Make 3 or 4 shallow cuts on each wedge without slicing all the way through so they open slightly like a fan while cooking.

3. 3

   Pat the halloumi dry with paper towels and cut it into 8 thick batons roughly the same size as the pear wedges.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Keep the honey separate for finishing.

5. 5

   Brush the pear wedges and halloumi batons with the olive oil, lemon, and rosemary mixture.

6. 6

   Arrange the pears and halloumi in the Air Fryer basket in a single layer, leaving a little space between the pieces. Cook at 190 °C / 375 °F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the halloumi halfway through, until the cheese is golden and the pears are tender at the edges.

7. 7

   Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the honey with the chopped pistachios and, if using, the red pepper flakes.

8. 8

   Transfer the pears and halloumi to a serving platter. Arrange one halloumi baton next to several fanned pear wedges. Spoon the honey-pistachio mixture over the top.

9. 9

   Finish with a little extra lemon zest and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
