  5. While roasting, cube the halloumi and toss it with olive oil, honey, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Prepare the maple dijon dressing by whisking together all dressing ingredients in a bowl or jar.
  7. After 25 minutes, add the halloumi to the sheet pan, squeeze half a lemon over it, and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes.
