Ingredients
- 500 grams Calamari rings
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 for serving Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the calamari rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all dry ingredients.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each calamari ring into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it evenly.
Step 5
Then, dredge the egg-coated calamari in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks. Shake off any excess.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Step 7
Working in batches, fry the calamari rings in the oil until golden brown and crispy, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried calamari to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the calamari rings hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating.
