Published on 05 January 2023
Veggies rejoice because vegetarian pigs in blankets are here and in the form of carrot and halloumi. Ready in just 20 mins, the sweet and versatile carrot strips (or blankets) are first marinated in soy sauce for plenty of savoury umami flavour, plus maple syrup for sweetness and red wine vinegar to add a slight fruity sourness. Once marinated, the carrot strips are wrapped around salty halloumi and roasted until just golden. Remember that they're not just a snack for Christmas, you just need to make sure you grab yours before they’re all gone. Looking for other vegetarian recipes? We’ve got you covered.Time and servings
