Golden Garlic Veggie Halloumi Sandwich

Golden Garlic Veggie Halloumi Sandwich

We’re back with another sandwich we can’t stop thinking about: a veggie-packed, garlic-loaded, halloumi-laced situation perfect for lunch, dinner, or that in-between meal when you're just craving something really good.

This one layers creamy Golden Garlic Hummus with roasted beets and garlic, crispy cucumbers, sweet + spicy halloumi, and a crunchy beet salad tossed with sumac and red onion. It’s savory, a little sweet, a little tangy, and all kinds of satisfying.

Ingredients

  • Bread of choice

  • Little Sesame Golden Garlic Hummus

  • Beets (washed, stems/roots trimmed)

  • Whole garlic cloves

  • Olive oil

  • Pomegranate Molases

  • Sherry Vinegar (white wine or red wine vinegar both work)

  • Red onion, thinly sliced

  • Cucumber, thinly sliced lengthwise + salted

  • Sprouts

  • Halloumi cheese

  • Hot honey (we love Zab's)

  • Sesame seeds

  • Cured Sumac

  • Maldon salt

  • Chips for serving (optional but encouraged)

Preparation

Step 1: Roast the beets + garlic
Preheat your oven to 450°F. In an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, add whole beets and garlic cloves. Drizzle generously with olive oil, a splash of pomegranate molasses, and a little sherry vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 50 minutes or until the beets are tender and caramelized around the edges.

Step 2: Crisp up your halloumi
Slice the halloumi into slabs and fry in a pan over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides. Once it’s crisped up, drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Make the beet salad
Once your roasted beets have cooled, slice them into ¼-inch thick pieces. In a bowl, combine the beets with thinly sliced red onion, cured sumac, olive oil, vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.

Step 4: Toast + assemble
Toast your bread, then build your sandwich. Start with a generous layer of Golden Garlic Hummus, then add salted cucumbers, a big spoonful of the beet salad, halloumi, and sprouts.

Step 5: Serve + enjoy
Serve with your favorite chips and extra hummus on the side. Eat outside if you can ☺️
