Slice half an onion and set aside.

Dice 1 courgette and 1 red pepper into similar-sized pieces.

Spread the diced vegetables in the pot without using an air fry basket.

Spray the vegetables with olive oil, then season with black pepper and salt.

Cover the pot and air fry the vegetables at 190°C for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Add 150 grams of orzo to the pot after the vegetables are cooked.

Pour in 400 ml of vegetable stock and add a 125-gram tin of cherry tomatoes, stirring to combine.

Drizzle honey over the haloumi cheese and sprinkle with chili flakes, mixing to coat.

Place the haloumi on top of the orzo and vegetables in the pot.

Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes, turning the haloumi after 10 minutes and covering with foil after 15 minutes.

Check that the orzo is cooked to a slightly firm and chewy texture before serving.

Dish up the roasted vegetable orzo with haloumi on top.
