Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 whole Lemon
- as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Clean the squid by removing the head, innards, and cartilage. Rinse well under cold water. Slice the body into rings approximately 1 cm thick.
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Dip each squid ring into the beaten egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the flour mixture. Ensure each ring is evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for about 5 minutes.
Arrange the squid rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to help crisp the coating.
Cook the squid rings in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time and spraying again lightly with olive oil spray.
Once the squid rings are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
Serve warm with wedges of fresh lemon for squeezing over the top.
