Air Fryer Calamari

 

I am a mom, and I love to cook for my family. Recently, I have been using the air fryer to make some delicious meals that are also quick and easy! This recipe is one of our favorites so far - calamari. It's crunchy on the outside and tender inside with only 5 minutes prep time. Eating healthy has never tasted this good!
