Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh squid
- 100 grams almond flour
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 500 milliliters avocado oil
- 1 lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the squid under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the squid bodies into 1 cm wide rings and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create the breading mixture.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each squid ring into the egg mixture, shaking off any excess, then coat them with the almond flour mixture. Press gently to ensure they are fully coated.
In a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the avocado oil to 180°C (350°F).
Carefully add the coated squid rings in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each batch for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy squid rings hot with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
