Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese sliced
  • 1 can chickpeas drained and dried
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • 1/2 cucumber diced
  • 1/4 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil and smoked paprika on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until crunchy.
3
Meanwhile, whisk the honey and harissa paste in a small bowl.
4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the halloumi slices for 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
5
Brush the harissa-honey mixture directly onto the warm cheese while it is still in the pan, allowing it to bubble and caramelize for 30 seconds.
6
Assemble the bowls by creating a bed of arugula, topping with the crispy chickpeas, caramelized halloumi, fresh cucumber, and red onion.
7
Finish with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for a vibrant, acidic pop.
