Instructions
Roast the Vegetables:
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Place the chopped vegetables (except the cherry tomatoes) on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 3
Roast for 20-25 minutes, adding the cherry tomatoes in the last 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Grill the Halloumi:
Step 4
While the vegetables are roasting, heat a grill pan or regular pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Brush the halloumi slices with olive oil.
Step 6
Grill the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden, crispy crust. Set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Rice:
Step 7
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 8
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 9
Add the cooked rice to the pan, stirring to combine with the garlic. Season with a bit of salt and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to warm through.
Make the Sauce:
Step 10
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, calamansi (or lime) juice, sugar or honey, sesame oil, and chopped chili (if using). Adjust to taste.
Assemble the Bowl:
Step 11
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Step 12
Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 13
Add the cooked rice to the pan, stirring to combine with the garlic. Season with a bit of salt and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the rice to warm through.
