Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and chili flakes. Set aside.
~2 min - 3
Wash the grapes and pat them dry. Toss them with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread them on a baking sheet.
~3 min - 4
Roast the grapes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they begin to soften and blister.
~15 min - 5
While the grapes are roasting, cut the halloumi cheese into 1-inch thick slices.
~2 min - 6
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
~6 min - 7
Once the halloumi is browned, pour the prepared honey-spice mixture over it in the pan. Stir gently to coat the halloumi evenly. Cook for another minute until the glaze thickens slightly.
~2 min - 8
Remove the roasted grapes from the oven. Add the toasted almonds to the grapes on the baking sheet. Toss to combine.
~1 min - 9
Arrange the honey-glazed halloumi on a serving plate. Spoon the roasted grapes and almonds over the halloumi. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
