Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams squid rings
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup olive oil
Instructions
Clean and prepare 500 grams of squid rings, ensuring they are free from any membrane and excess water. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they are dry for frying.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 0.5 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until the coating ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat 2 large eggs until they are homogenous.
Heat 1 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a small drop of water is added.
Working in batches, dip each squid ring into the beaten egg, allowing any excess egg to drip off, then coat the ring thoroughly in the almond flour mixture.
Carefully place the coated squid rings in the hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried squid rings using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining squid rings, ensuring the oil remains hot for each batch.
Serve the crispy fried squid rings immediately with your choice of low-carb dipping sauce, such as a homemade garlic aioli or a lemon wedge on the side.
