Rinse and pat dry 500 grams of calamari rings with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs until well blended.
Place 1 cup of gluten-free breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
Dredge each calamari ring in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
Dip the floured calamari rings into the beaten eggs, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Then, roll the rings in the gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere.
Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 180°C (350°F).
Fry the calamari rings in small batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Remove the cooked calamari rings with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the gluten-free crispy calamari rings hot, garnished with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley.
