Hot honey High Protein Gyros

Step 1: Prepare the Halloumi

Slice the halloumi cheese into even pieces, about 1 cm thick. This ensures that each bite is flavorful and cooked evenly. Avoid cutting them too thin to maintain that hearty texture when cooked.

Step 2: Create the Hot Honey Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of sweet chili sauce, ½ teaspoon of chili flakes, 1 teaspoon of paprika, and 2 teaspoons of water. Mix these until you have a consistent marinade.

This sweet and spicy mixture not only enhances the flavor of the halloumi but also adds complexity to your gyros.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

In a skillet, add your sliced red onion and diced red pepper. Sauté them over medium heat for about 4 to 5 minutes until they soften and begin to caramelize.

This step makes the vegetables sweeter, making them a perfect match for the salty halloumi.

Step 4: Marinate the Halloumi

Place the halloumi slices into the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

While marinating, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of S&P seasoning over the sautéed onion and pepper mixture. Stir it well to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 5: Cook the Halloumi

In the same pan over medium heat, add the marinated halloumi slices. Cook them until golden brown—approximately 3 minutes for each side.

Once they are crispy and golden, remove them from the heat and set them aside.

Step 6: Assemble Your Gyros

To assemble, lay your flatbreads on a plate and add a layer of fresh lettuce to each. This adds a satisfying crunch to your gyros.

Next, top with the sautéed onions and peppers, and then add a generous portion of the honey-glazed halloumi.

Don’t forget to drizzle some peri peri mayo on top for that extra zing.
