Roasted Roots Halloumi Traybake With Courgette Tangles Food

HALLOUMI TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the potatoes in a large roasting tin with the onion. Pour over 2 tbsp olive oil and roast in the oven for about 30 mins.
• Add the chickpeas, pepper, romanesco, tomatoes and garlic. Drizzle with 2 tbsp oil, then roast for a further 20-25 mins until everything is cooked and browning nicely. Toss together briefly and put the halloumi slices on top. Put it under the grill for 5-10 mins, or until the cheese is melting and browning (keep an eye on it). Scatter over the basil leaves to serve.

HALLOUMI AND MEDITERRANEAN VEG TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the courgettes, onion and garlic with the olive oil, and tip into a large, shallow baking dish. Season well and roast for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the cherry tomatoes and sit the halloumi slices on top. Sprinkle over the cumin seeds and chilli flakes, if using. Cook for another 15 minutes until the tomatoes start to burst and release juice, and the halloumi is turning golden.
• Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and mash into the oil and juices in the baking dish, stirring it in. Spoon everything onto plates and serve with soft flatbreads and hummus or hot sauce, if you like.

ROASTED VEG, CHICKPEA & HASSELBACK HALLOUMI TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the peppers, courgettes and red onion wedges together in a roasting tin along with the rapeseed oil, and roast for 15 mins. Tip in the cherry tomatoes, ras el hanout, oregano, harissa, preserved lemon and chickpeas, and toss to combine. Cut deep slits into the top of the halloumi, about halfway down, in a criss-cross pattern. Nestle the halloumi among the veg in the tin and roast for a further 15-20 mins until the cheese is lightly golden and the veg is tender.
• Scatter over the parsley, then drizzle over some yogurt just before serving.
