• 10 ml Extra virgin olive oil

Method

1. Clean the squid and cut the tubes into rings about 1 cm wide.
2. Dry the rings very well with paper towels to ensure maximum crunchiness.
3. Toss the rings in a bowl with flour until evenly coated, then shake off the excess.
4. Place the rings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
5. Spray or drizzle with the oil and cook at 200 C for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
6. Season with salt only after cooking and serve immediately with lemon juice.

Tips

• The secret to crunchiness is drying the squid perfectly before flouring them.
• Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary for the best airflow.
