Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Place flour in a bowl. Whisk egg and milk in a separate bowl. Combine panko, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.

Step 3

Coat calamari rings first in flour, then in egg mixture, and finally in panko mixture.

Step 4

Place rings in the basket of the air fryer so that none overlap. Work in batches if needed. Spray tops with nonstick cooking spray.
