Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Toss the potato cubes with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, half the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper on a large roasting tray.
Tip: Cut potatoes evenly so they roast at the same rate.
- 2
Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes until they begin to soften and the edges turn golden brown.
Tip: Stir halfway through cooking for even browning.
- 3
While potatoes roast, pat the squid rings dry with paper towels. In a bowl, combine squid with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, remaining garlic, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
Tip: Drying the squid helps it brown better and prevents splattering.
- 4
After potatoes have cooked for 20 minutes, push them to the sides of the tray and arrange the seasoned squid in the center.
Tip: Keep squid separate from potatoes initially to prevent them from steaming.
- 5
Pour the white wine over the squid and return the tray to the oven. Roast for 12-15 minutes until squid is opaque and tender, and potatoes are crispy and golden.
Tip: Watch carefully—overcooked squid becomes rubbery. It should be just opaque throughout.
- 6
Remove from oven and toss everything together gently. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Tip: Handle the squid gently to avoid breaking the rings.
- 7
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish generously with fresh parsley. Drizzle with any pan juices and serve immediately.
Tip: Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
