Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid rings
- 50 grams Coconut flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 ml Olive oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the squid rings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs until fully beaten.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-blended to form the coating mixture.
Step 4
Prepare a large frying pan by heating olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 5
Dip each squid ring into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge them in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated squid rings into the hot oil in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Step 7
Fry the squid rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the squid rings from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Garnish the cooked squid with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
