Cooking Steps

1
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut beetroot into small cubes. • Cut brown onion into thick wedges. • Cut sweet potato into bite-sized chunks. • Cut haloumi into 1cm-thick slices. • In a medium bowl, add haloumi and cover with water to soak.

• Place beetroot, onion and sweet potato on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with Nan’s special seasoning and salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays. TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It’s done when you can pierce it with a fork.

• While the veggies are roasting, in a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and a good pinch of pepper. • In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. • In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs. • Drain haloumi and pat dry. Dip haloumi slices into the flour mixture, then into the egg and finally into the panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

• When the veggies have 5 minutes remaining, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. • Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many loved the tasty mix of roasted veggies and haloumi, though some found the smokey flavour lacking.
  • Ease of prep: Several found crumbing the haloumi fiddly and time-consuming; some skipped this step for simplicity.
  • Suggestions: Try adding roasted garlic cloves or capsicum for extra flavour. Consider frying the haloumi without crumbing.
  • Portions: Some wanted more haloumi; others found the sweet potato quantity excessive for two people.
  • Texture: The crunchy pepitas provided a nice contrast to the soft roasted veggies.
