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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the squid under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the squid bodies into 1 cm wide rings and set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create the breading mixture.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
In a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the avocado oil to 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Serve the crispy squid rings hot with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
