This halloumi and mediterranean veg traybake is a vibrant, one-pan meal full of flavour and texture. Roasted veggies, golden halloumi, and spices come together in under an hour.
The original recipe appeared in the May 2019 Olive magazine. It's a delicious healthy vegetarian traybake that has plenty seasonal veg along with salty halloumi for a vibrant summer dinner that's ready in just over 30 minutes.
The end result is veg that is full of flavour, complimented with the salty and crispy around the edges halloumi, with a hint of warmth and spice from the cumin seeds and optional chilli flakes. We love it with flatbreads or pitta breads, shop-bought or homemade houmous and a drizzle of sriracha hot sauce - yum!
Tips
- Alternative veg options - try chunks of peppers or aubergine. Or, try adding olives, capers or artichoke hearts for variety.
- Seasonings - try sprinkling dried oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, sumac or za'atar.
- This halloumi and mediterranean veg traybake recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
