<h3 class="step-title">Step 3</h3>
Heat olive oil in a large grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the halloumi sticks. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy edges appear. Be careful to not overcook as halloumi can become rubbery if left on the heat for too long.</li>
