Many times I usually prepare this recipe with squid in its ink but in this case I wanted a quick, simple and healthy dinner.

This recipe explains with all the ingredients and the step by step of how to cook the squid with peas in a airfryer.

Tips for a good recipe for squid with peas in a airfryer

• If you can pass the garlic and parsley through a crusher so that it is very fine, it will be better (I don't like to chew pieces of garlic, that's why I do it like this)
• Add the peas and onion in the same mold with the squid to take advantage of the flavor of the juice that they have been able to leave
• If you let the peas defrost for about 10 minutes before starting to cook, it is better, although it is not essential.
• Both when you cook the squid and when you cook it all I recommend that you stir from time to time during cooking
• You can pair this recipe with a sweet, healthy and easy dessert like Air Fryer Roasted Apples
