Method
1. Before you begin, pat dry the haloumi with paper towel, getting rid of any moisture. Cut the cheesy goodness into roughly 1.5cm strips. Combine the flour, garlic powder and dried oregano in a mixing bowl.
2. Pour enough oil into a large, deep frying pan to come to about 1cm up the side of the pan. Heat over medium heat. Coat the haloumi chips in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Cook in batches, turning them over for 2 minutes or until they're nice and golden (try to stop yourself from eating every single one).
3. Transfer them to a paper towel to drain away all the gross, extra oil (no one needs that). Combine the fresh oregano, lemon zest and pepper in a bowl.
4. Place the haloumi chips on a serving plate and sprinkle with the pepper mixture.
5. Devour them, you've been so patient. You've earnt this.
