Preheat oven to 200°C. Place vegetables in a baking paper-lined tray or pan, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with spices and toss to coat evenly. Bake for 10 minutes
Meanwhile, combine currants, pistachios nuts and honey and place evenly on each slice of haloumi to form a crust
Remove the vegetables from the oven and make a few indentations in the vegetables to fit the haloumi. Nestle the haloumi in amongst the roasted vegetables and cook for a further 20 minutes until vegetables are cooked and haloumi is warmed through
