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
- 0 as needed Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Clean the squid by removing the head, innards, and cartilage. Rinse well under cold water. Slice the body into rings approximately 1 cm thick.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once the squid rings are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
Step 9
Serve warm with wedges of fresh lemon for squeezing over the top.
