Time 25m

Yield 1 serving of calamari, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces squid rings, raw (not breaded)
1/4 cup Fiber One cereal (original)
3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs (like the kind by Progresso)
2 tablespoons liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash black pepper, to taste
reduced-fat parmesan cheese, grated
lemon wedge
low-fat marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consisten cy. Pour crumbs into a plastic container that has an airtight lid (or into a sealable plastic bag). Add panko, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Add as much pepper as you like. Seal and shake to mix thoroughly.
  • Make sure calamari rings are as dry as possible. (Use a paper towel to soak up moisture.) Place them in a dish, and pour egg substitute over them. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Transfer rings to the crumb mixture, and secure lid or seal bag. Shake until rings are thoroughly coated, and then place rings on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Open any rings that are sticking to themselves.
  • Bake calamari in the oven for 15 minutes, flipping them about halfway through, until firm and fully cooked. If you like, sprinkle with Parm-style topping and serve with lemon wedges and/or marinara sauce. YUM!
