Ingredients
- 500 grams Squid, cleaned and cut into rings
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 100 grams Crushed pork rinds
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 liter Oil for frying (e.g., avocado oil, coconut oil)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly cleaning the squid. Pat dry the squid rings with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the coating adhere better during frying.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
Step 4
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). It's important to maintain the temperature to ensure a crispy texture.
Step 5
Dip each squid ring into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Next, dredge the egg-coated squid rings in the almond flour and pork rind mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Press gently to help the coating stick well.
Step 7
Carefully place a few of the coated squid rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the squid rings from the oil and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 9
Repeat frying with the remaining squid rings, ensuring the oil's temperature remains constant.
Step 10
Once all the squid rings are fried, serve them hot with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side for added zest.
