Preparation steps

1.
For the Halloumi and vegetables: Preheat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) | 350F | gas 4.
2.
Toss together the olive oil, fennel and cumin seeds, vegetables, and seasoning in a mixing bowl. Spread them out in a roasting tray and sit the slices of Halloumi on top.
3.
Roast for 35 - 45 minutes until golden and soft, turning the Halloumi after 10 minutes. Remove the Halloumi once golden on both sides; 20 - 25 minutes. Wrap in foil to keep warm.
4.
For the quinoa: As the vegetables roast, cook the quinoa in a dry saucepan set over a moderate heat for 2 minutes until lightly toasted.
5.
Add the water, stir well, and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15 - 20 minutes until the quinoa has absorbed the water and is tender.
6.
Remove from the heat and set to one side, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir through the chopped herbs and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
7.
Spoon onto serving plates and serve with the roasted vegetables and Halloumi.
