how to cook calamari in an air fryer

Air Fryer Calamari

This is a very easy way to enjoy calamari without the oil and fuss of deep frying.
Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 8 minutes
Course Appetizer
Cuisine Italian
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb calamari rings thawed
  • 1 tbsp seafood seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Start by adding the flour, seafood seasoning, and pepper to a medium-sized mixing bowl and mix. In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Put a few of the calamari rings into the flour mixture, into the egg and milk, and back into the flour mixture. Do this for all of the calamari rings.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place one layer of the calamari rings into the air fryer. Spray with cooking oil and cook for 4-6 minutes. I check them after a few minutes and sometimes flip and spray the other sides. They're very tasty with a marinara, cocktail, and chipotle mayo.

Notes

I use this air fryer from Amazon.
