Roasted Halloumi with Daikon

Roasted Halloumi with Daikon

This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners that comes together in under an hour. I love roasting halloumi because it gets this gorgeous golden crust while staying creamy inside, and when you pair it with tender daikon radish, you've got something really special. The ginger in this dish is fantastic for digestion and adds such a bright, warming flavor that complements the cheese beautifully. What I really appreciate is how simple it is to throw together, plus it's budget friendly since both main ingredients are inexpensive. The whole thing roasts in one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.
