  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.

  6. Arrange the squid rings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with cooking spray.
  7. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the squid in lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before breading. Serve with a side of lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce for an added zest.
