Ingredients

  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 pound squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ tablespoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste (Optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • ¼ cup marinara sauce, warmed

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oil to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a deep fryer, deep frying pan, or pot.

Step 2
Coat squid with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, oregano, basil, parsley, paprika, cayenne, and white pepper in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly. Add flour and toss to dredge.

Step 3
Fry squid in the hot oil, in batches if needed, until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook, or squid will be tough and chewy. Drain on paper towels. Serve with lemon wedges and marinara sauce.
