Stages of cooking
-
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Place flour in a bowl. Whisk egg and milk in a separate bowl. Combine panko, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
-
Coat calamari rings first in flour, then in egg mixture, and finally in panko mixture.
-
Place rings in the basket of the air fryer so that none overlap. Work in batches if needed. Spray tops with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 4 minutes. Flip rings, spray with nonstick cooking spray, and cook until browned and crispy, about 3 minutes more.
