Method
Calamari Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Calamari
In a bowl, combine the cleaned and sliced calamari rings with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all rings are coated. Allow to marinate for about 15 minutes.
Breading Process
- 2
Prepare the Breading
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, and salt until well combined.
- 3
Bread the Calamari
Remove the marinated calamari from the bowl, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each calamari ring in the breading mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Set aside on a plate.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
- 5
Fry the Calamari
Carefully add the breaded calamari rings to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Garnish and Serve
Once all calamari are fried, transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
