Presentation
Air-fried calamari rings are a delicious dish that can be served either as a main course or as an appetizer. Air frying enhances the sea flavor of the squid, ensuring a perfect crispiness without retaining too much oil, unlike traditional frying. A touch of freshly squeezed lemon adds a hint of freshness that cleanses and delights the palate.
Preparation
1
Clean the squid
Clean the squid under running water and, pulling from the head, scoop out all the insides of the entrails. Remove the latter with a knife, thus detaching them from the head, from which remove the part containing the eyes and central tooth. This will leave only the tentacles joined together by a small part of the remaining head. Go on to clean the body by making a slight vertical incision in the skin, which should then be slipped off so as to obtain a smooth, white surface
