Air Fried Calamari
I would much rather have a spicy remoulade or a thin sweet and spicy sauce with my fried calamari. One thing about calamari at home is the endless small-batch baskets going into fryer, plus the oil smell.
I used the Avolon Bay Air Fryer for this recipe. Air fryers are so useful, especially for those cooking for one and it would be awesome for college dorms and apartments. Aimply pop in what you want into the basket, give it a shake or two in the middle of cooking...and ding...its done. Now if only these were larger!
I have been tinkering, and there is a bit of a learning curve with the rapid air technology air fryers use.
I love making Zucchini Chips in the air fryer! They are SO easy and crazy addictive! I make a simple Sriracha dipping sauce for them YUM! Even the kids like them!
My Crispy Air Fried Tofu is so tasty that even if you are new to tofu, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I make it with Asian flavors and its always a hit with my daughter and I. The boys however won't open their minds to tofu, lol!
Sriracha & Honey Tossed Calamari
½ lb calamari tubes (tentacles if you prefer)
1 cup of club soda
1 cup flour
A couple dashes of salt, red pepper and black pepper
½ cup honey 1-2 TBS Sriracha
A few shakes of red pepper flakes
Rinse your calamari clean and blot dry. Slice the calamari tubes into rings about ¼ inch wide. Place the calamari rings into a bowl and cover them with the club soda, stir until all are submerged. Let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile combine the flour, salt, red & black pepper. Set aside. Drain the calamari, blot dry. Dredge the calamari, one at a time, in the flour mixture and set on a plate until ready to air fry. Once ready to cook. Spray the basket of the fryer with a small amount of cooking spray. Place calamari into the basket, careful not to crowd too much, set temperature for 375 degrees and set the timer for 11 minutes. Shake the basket twice during the cooking process, loosening any rings that stick. Remove from basket, toss with the sauce and return to the fryer for 2 minutes more. Serve with additional sauce if you like.
Make sauce by combining honey, sriracha and red pepper flakes in a small bowl, mix until fully combined.
Enjoy!
Looove me some calamari! And the sweet & spicy sauce sounds great!
This looks amazing! I love calamari but have never made it myself!
I would love to try making fries or onion rings with this!
I'd make some yummy french fries since I just got a french fry cutter for Christmas!
I've been eyeing this fryer for a while now. I love to deep fry, but hate having to clean it (impossible), and hate that greasy smell. Calamari would be on the list of things to fry
I'd make some fries & cheese sticks in this!
I would try to make homemade fries or potato chips
Giiiiiiiiirl!!! I need an air fryer in my life!!! I love your calamari recipe and you know I'll try my best to air fry donuts if I won one. Yeah. I said it.
Yes, to the avocado fries and calamari!! Two of my favorite recipes that I try to avoid because of the oil! I would be all over those recipes!
I would love to try Onion Rings. DEE Fedor
I love the idea of this, can't wait to try it. I'd love to try making fries with it!
I'm not a huge calamari fan, but I do love fried food lol! I'd make onion rings and fried jalapeno rings!
I haven't ever heard of an air fryer before but it has definitely caught my attention. 🙂 I love calamari and the picture looks so delicious. 🙂
I think this sounds like a neat concept. Fries would be tops on my list!
Looks amazing, I'd love one if these!!
I would love to try one of these. I would do onion straws first. We use them from salads, sandwiches, on pizzas, burgers, etc. with all different types of seasoning.
I would love to make the Nutella Apple pie, there are so many things I could make.
Chicken!!
wow have not seen this device but very cool. Sweet potato fries will be mine then with one of these
I love love love calamari !!!!! I've always been too chicken to try to make it myself though, I really need to try though, you make it look so easy!
I'm intrigued!! I've never seen this before, but as I don't actually "fry" because of the high oil content, this is something totally on my list!
I love everything deep fried! especially onion rings.
I think I might try to fry some shrimp.

Wow---I have never even thought of making calamari at home! I think I might be more likely to try shrimp--maybe using a similar technique.

I would love to try some shrimp in the fryer. I never make it because of all the oil so this would be great
I'd like to play around with my husband's onion ring recipe! I love them but they're so messy when fried in oil!
Love the recipe. It sound delicious and I'm always looking for new ways to fix calamari..Thank you. 🙂
those drumsticks sound amazing. I've only had calamari once and that was in NY, but if that was good this has to be amazing! I'd have to try a different recipe because I can't have spicy any more, but it all sounds so good!
would love to try some chicken wings cooked in it
I think this recipe looks amazing and I can't wait to try it! I think I would also try to do some type of onion ring. I LOVE onion rings!

Since we are not calamari fans here, I think I would try onion rings first.
I'd love to try french fries in this air fryer. This is a great invention; it not only is much healthier than cooking in oil but saves the cost of the oil. Then, for it to cook in half the time, who wouldn't want one of these? Thank you for sharing and for your giveaway! I will check out your other recipes.
I'd do fried sage, leek frizzles, sweet potato fries!
I would like to try the lemony green beans
I would first try onion rings, love those. This is such an interesting new fryer.

I have never tried calamari but would be willing to try this recipe sounds good
The recipe sounds wonderful but I don't think I have ever tried calamari before, but I am trying to get back on track with my health and this would be a huge help to me, I thinking of all the great vegetables I am going to be able to cook in this 🙂 thanks @tisonlyme143
I have never had calamari and do not want to try it. So, the recipe did not appeal to me. Sweet potato fries or regular fries would be good to try with this cooker.
Looks good! I would try anything. Since I had my gallbladder out a few years ago fried foods have been a no no for me and I would so love to have one of these, I miss fried food so much
It looks good but I would not eat calamari.

Avocado fries sound awesome!
I crave onion rings all the time so I'd make those but those avocado fries would hit the spot too.
Love to have one!
In my home we do fry food a lot, chicken tofu, potatoes. Maybe we can cut don't on eating oil with this if the flavor and texture is the same.
I would like to try onion rings, french fries, sweet potato fries, zucchini sticks, fish sticks, chicken fingers, and I am wondering if it would do my frozen breaded okra without deep frying?

I think I'd try homemade fries. Real fries need to be fried twice, which is what makes them so unhealthy, and so delicious! I'd love to try them in the air fryer!

I've never heard of rinsing calamari in soda water! What an awesome trick, I can't wait to give this a try.
Hope you enjoyed it! I learned that from "The Professional Chef Cookbook" many years ago.
