Chinese Salt and Pepper Air Fried Calamari
Last Christmas, I received a digital air fryer and I thought that this must be the greatest invention ever. I love how the air fryer can make food less oily and cut my cooking time in half. So today, I decided to make my family recipe, “Chinese Salt and Pepper Air Fried Calamari.” It’s spicy and super salty but so good. You’ll love the crunchy batter that is less greasy and it’s healthier than frying the calamari in oil. Enjoy!
