Ingredients




8 med. squid (calamari)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 garlic cloves, peeled and quartered

Preparation

1 Clean squid with the skin left on, tentacles reserved, bodies left whole. 2 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash the squid inside and out under cold running water; drain and pat dry. Arrange the squid (bodies and tentacles) in a single layer, with the side fins spread out, on an oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Scatter the garlic around the squid. 3 Cover tightly with foil and bake on the top rack of the oven for 10 minutes. Remove the foil. Prick the squid on both sides with a fork. Roast, uncovered, basting once or twice with the pan juices, for 20 minutes, or until the squid are tender and glazed. Serve hot. Serves 8.
