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.
