To prepare, preheat your oven or air fryer according to package directions. Arrange the frozen calamari in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket.

Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface to ensure even crisping. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or a spicy aioli.
