Loaded Keto Halloumi Cheeseburger Fries

Ingredients

• •500g Halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch thick fries
• •300g Grass-fed ground beef
• •1/2 cup Aged cheddar cheese, freshly grated
• •1/4 cup Dill pickles, thinly sliced
• •2 tablespoons Avocado oil
• •1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• •1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
• •1/4 teaspoon Onion powder
• •Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
• •1/2 cup Mayonnaise
• •2 tablespoons Sugar-free tomato ketchup
• •1 tablespoon Yellow mustard
• •1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• •1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely chopped
• •1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1Pat the halloumi fries thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a golden, crispy crust.
2. 2In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, and vinegar to create the signature burger sauce; set aside.
3. 3Heat one tablespoon of avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, seasoning with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté until browned and slightly crispy, then remove from heat.
4. 4In a separate non-stick skillet, heat the remaining avocado oil. Fry the halloumi sticks in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy.
5. 5Arrange the warm halloumi fries on a heat-proof serving platter. Evenly distribute the seasoned beef over the fries and top with the grated aged cheddar.
6. 6Place the platter under a preheated broiler for 60 to 90 seconds until the cheese is bubbling and molten.
7. 7Finish the dish by layering on the dill pickles, drizzling with the prepared burger sauce, and garnishing with fresh chives and toasted sesame seeds.
