Remove from the freezer and leave to fully defrost, once defrosted, pour the veggies into a large baking tray and place in the oven for 25 minutes at 190oc. After 25 minutes, remove from the oven, place the halloumi slices on top, drizzle with a little olive oil and place under the grill for a further 5-10 minutes until the cheese is lovely and golden, keep an eye on it so it doesn’t catch.
Having recently discovered you on Instagram, I cooked this as my first Batch Lady meal tonight. I doubled up and have one meal in the freezer for another day. Absolutely delicious and so easy. My husband doesn’t even like halloumi usually but he devoured it!
Welcome to the world of batching!! So glad to hear it went down well!
Can you cook then freeze?
Yes you could!
Could you use chicken rather than Halloumi?
Yes that would work, the chicken will take a little longer to cook than halloumi so make sure to factor that in. Enjoy!
Easy recipe even for me and I am not a good cook
Tasty and even meat eaters enjoyed halloumi tray bake meat-free!
Loving your recipes! Could this be done in the air fryer??
yay great to hear, yes it could! cook at 180oc for 20 minutes, give it a good stir, pop the halloumi on top and cook for a further 5-10 mins. Hope that helps!
Very tasty meal – we added some couscous to bulk it up a little and enjoyed it lots. We’re new to batch cooking and using our freezer so much but definitely converts as we’ve saved so much time already in the evening!
brilliant, that is great to hear!
