Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat squid dry with paper towels. Score the bodies in a crosshatch pattern, cutting halfway through.

  2. Step 2

    Mix chili paste, lime juice, fish sauce, garlic, and olive oil in a small bowl until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Toss squid with the chili paste until fully coated. Spread on a sheet pan in a single layer.

  4. Step 4

    Roast at 475°F until edges are charred and tentacles curl, 10-12 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze a fresh lime wedge over top. Serve hot with jasmine rice or over greens.
