Description

Air Fryer Salt and Pepper Calamari is perfectly crispy, delicious, and incredibly easy! Made with fresh squid and coated in breading, it's so good!

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound squid, diced into rings
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Start by mixing the flour with the salt and pepper. While you are working preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • In one bowl, beat the egg. Then dip the calamari into the egg, shake off the excess.
  • Then dip the calamari/squid into the flour mixture, and as you coat them, place them on the air fryer basket or tray (sprayed with olive oil, so they don’t stick)
  • Set the temperature to 350 degrees F for 5 minutes, (air fryer mode) after 5 minutes, flip the calamari with tongs, for an air fryer tray, or shake the basket if you have an air fryer tray. 
  • Add another 3 minutes to the timer.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
