Pantry staples like flour, breadcrumbs, and vegetable oil are readily available at any local grocery store.
Preparation method
- Season the cleaned squid rings with salt, black pepper, and oregano.
- Place the beaten eggs in a bowl and coat the squid rings thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs together.
- Dredge the egg-coated squid rings in the flour and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are well-covered.
- Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan.
- Fry the breaded squid rings in the hot oil until they reach a golden, crispy texture.
- Remove the fried squid rings and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the rings garnished with fresh chopped green onions.
