Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Calamari rings
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Dredge each calamari ring in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured calamari ring into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the calamari ring with the gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.
Carefully place the coated calamari rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the calamari rings for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried calamari with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the gluten-free fried calamari rings with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
