INGREDIENTS
6 oz Calamari Rings (170g)
1/4 cup Almond Flour (28g)
1 Egg White (33g)
2 tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt (28g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the calamari rings dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour with a pinch of salt and extra smoked paprika if desired.
In another bowl, whisk the egg white until slightly frothy. Dip the calamari rings into the egg white, then dredge them in the almond flour until evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray or add a minimal amount of cooking oil to the pan.
Place the coated calamari rings in the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Meanwhile, prepare the lemon-garlic aioli by mixing nonfat Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the calamari from the skillet and plate immediately, serving with a side of the lemon-garlic aioli for dipping.
