Method
-
Step 1
Start by placing your grill plate into the removable cooking pot of your Ninja Foodi Health Grill and Air Fryer then set to ‘MAX’ for 4 minutes
-
Step 2
Whilst the unit is pre-heating slice your aubergine lengthways into six, 5mm slices. You can do this by hand or using a mandoline. Mix together the lemon juice, 1 tsp of oil, and sea salt then brush both the front and back of each slice of aubergine
-
Step 3
Add your aubergine slices to the grill and flip halfway through cooking using some silicone tongs. Remove and repeat if necessary
-
Step 4
Cut your halloumi into 6 ‘chip’ shaped chunks then set to one side. Mix together the remaining oil and the rest of the ingredients into a small bowl then brush the glaze over a piece of aubergine and wrap around one piece of halloumi. Repeat until all of the halloumi is wrapped
-
Step 5
Remove your grill plate and add the crisper basket. Place each aubergine wrapped halloumi piece into the basket then select ‘AIR FRY’ and set to 170 for 8 minutes. Flip halfway through then serve immediately after cooking for the full amount of time
