Steps

1

Clean the calamari, wash them, remove the skin by pulling it from one end and cut them into rings about one finger thick. Keep the tentacles and head whole.
2

Place them in a bowl add the lemon juice, as much salt as is needed and the ouzo. Mix them and set aside to marinate for 1 hour in the fridge (I left them longer).
3

After they marinate, strain the liquids and add plenty of flour so that they are well coated and dry on all sides.
4

Line the baking tray with the greaseproof paper, brush it with oil or even better, spray with oil or add just a little over the calamari and after you shake them to get rid of the excess flour, spread them on one layer on the baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C.
5

Leave them until they get golden brown. You don't have to turn them over.
6

Remove from the oven and serve (optionally) with lemon. Bon appétit.
