Cut 1/2 pound of Halloumi into thin fry-like strips, trying to make them as uniform as possible.

Set the Halloumi fries aside.

In a bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika.

Dust the Halloumi fries in the flour mixture.

Pour about half an inch of olive oil into a heavy skillet and heat it to medium heat.

Carefully place the Halloumi fries into the pan once the oil is at medium heat.

Fry the Halloumi fries for 1 to 2 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Remove the fries from the pan and let them rest on a paper-lined plate to drain excess grease.

In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup of Greek yogurt, 1.5 teaspoons of smoked paprika, and a splash of lemon juice to make the dipping sauce.

Serve the Halloumi fries with the dipping sauce.
