INGREDIENTS
250g McCain Potato Smiles
2 x 225g blocks of halloumi, each sliced into four large rectangles
Brush the halloumi slices with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle over the herbs and arrange – in as few layers as possible – in one of the air fryer baskets.
Tip the Smiles into the other basket. Set both to cook for 5 minutes.
Shake the Smiles and set to cook for another 5 minutes.
Flip the halloumi over and set to cook for another 4 minutes.
Brush the inside of the ciabatta rolls with the remaining oil.
Once the halloumi is golden, remove it and put the rolls in the air fryer, oil side up, for 1 minute to toast. Depending on the size of your rolls, you may need to do this in batches.
Spread a generous spoonful of pesto on each warmed roll, top with 2 halloumi slices per person and finish with a handful of rocket leaves.
Serve with Smiles and vegetable crudités.
