Notes
- Its important that the calamari rings are not on top of each other as otherwise they will stick together and not cook properly and you will have a sticky mess.
- Depending which air fryer, we use, our air fryers can do between 9-12 calamari rings at once.
- Don’t want to measure out your flour? Load enough flour into the bowl to bread your calamari and if you don’t have enough just add a little more in during the breading process.
