Step 1
Pat the 1 lb squid rings dry with paper towels and season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 sliced onion and 2 sliced bell peppers; cook until softened and lightly charred, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Push vegetables to one side, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then add the squid rings in a single layer. Sear until just opaque and tender, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 5
Stir everything together and cook for 1 more minute until heated through. Serve immediately.
