Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 10 ounces small frozen calamari rings, thawed, drained well ((283 grams))
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • cooking oil spray
  • dipping sauce and fresh lemon wedges ((optional, for serving))

Instruction

  • Frozen calamari should be thawed in the fridge overnight, or follow the package directions for thawing. 
  • Lay the thawed calamari out on paper towels, and pat dry with more paper towels. They need to be very dry for this recipe.
  • Put the coconut flour, salt, and pepper in a gallon-size Ziplock bag. Put the dry calamari in the bag, close the bag, and shake well. The squid rings should be lightly and evenly dusted with coconut flour. 
  • Spray an air fryer basket or air fryer tray with cooking oil spray. Put half of the keto calamari on the tray in a single layer. Mist the calamari with more nonstick cooking spray. (You will be cooking the squid in two batches.)
  • Air fry each batch for 5-6 minutes at 400°F (200°C). (Use the top rack position if you have an air fryer oven.) You don't even need to flip them!
  • Serve with your favorite calamari dipping sauce and lemon wedges, if desired.
