Sheet Pan Roasted Halloumi & Broccolini

Move broccolini to edges of baking sheet and arrange Halloumi slices about 1/4" apart in center of sheet. Continue to roast until broccolini is charred and Halloumi is browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes more.

Ingredients :

  • 1 lb. broccolini
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 9 oz. Halloumi, cut into 1/2" slices
  • 1 tsp. sweet paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 small bunch fresh chives
  • 1 small bunch fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled, smashed
  • Zest of 1 lemon, plus juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 3/4 cup halved walnuts, raw or toasted

Directions :

  1. Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 425°. On a baking sheet, toss broccolini and 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer.
  2. Roast broccolini until beginning to soften, about 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, gently toss Halloumi, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and 2 tablespoons oil until cheese is coated.
  4. Move broccolini to edges of baking sheet and arrange Halloumi slices about 1/4" apart in center of sheet. Continue to roast until broccolini is charred and Halloumi is browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes more.
