Steps

  1. Prep fries Preheat oven to 220°C. Cut kumara and carrot into 1cm thick chips. Toss both on a lined oven tray with a drizzle of oil.
  2. Cook fries Season fries and bake in oven for about 25 minutes, until golden and tender. Turn once, to ensure even cooking. Stand halloumi on its side and cut in half into two even slabs. Set one aside for leftovers.
  3. Prep burger Thinly slice mushrooms. Thinly slice courgette lengthways. Drizzle a little olive oil over halloumi, coat in halloumi spice and set aside. Slice Turkish bap in half. When fries have about 15 minutes cook time remaining, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat.
  4. Cook burger Cook courgette and mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, until tender and golden. Remove from pan, season and set aside. Return pan to medium heat, cook halloumi and roasted capsicum for 1-2 minutes each side, until golden and soft. Set aside with vegetables.
  5. Heat bap While halloumi cooks, warm Turkish bap in oven for 2-3 minutes. Toss spinach in a small bowl with vinegar. To assemble, butter bap and spread red pepper pesto mayo over the base and top. Top with halloumi, vegetables, spinach and top of bap.
