How to make Warm winter vegetable salad with halloumi

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan 200°C).  

2. Coat a rimmed baking tray with 15 ml of oil.  

3. In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, salt, Aleppo-style pepper, and 45 ml of oil.  

4. Add the cabbage, onion, and squash to the bowl and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.  

5. Spread the vegetable mixture out on the prepared baking tray, keeping the bowl handy, and roast for 25–30 minutes, or until the squash is browned underneath.  

6. In the reserved bowl, toss together the pita, Halloumi, and the remaining 15 ml of oil.  

7. Scatter the pita and Halloumi over the roasted vegetables, then use a large spatula to turn the vegetables over.  

8. Roast for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender and the cabbage, onion, pita, and Halloumi are browned in spots, with the cheese softened inside.  

9. Remove from the oven and drizzle with vinegar.  

10. Finish by topping with sumac and fresh mint.
