Ingredients

400 g calamari (rings and tentacles), thawed and patted dry
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
1 piece large egg, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp lemon zest
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp salt

Steps

Set up your dredging station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, garlic powder, and salt mixed together.
Dip each calamari piece first in flour, shaking off excess, then in egg, and finally coat thoroughly in the seasoned panko.
Preheat your air fryer to 195°C (385°F).
Lightly spray the breaded calamari with olive oil spray. Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately.
