Instead of breadcrumbs, use crushed cornflake crumbs for a crunchier texture. Be sure not to overbake the squid or it will become rubbery. Undercooking it slightly is perfect.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil.

2. Cut entire squid crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide rings. Dust with the flour.

3. Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and chili powder in a shallow dish and mix well. Dip the squid rings in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven for 5 to 8 minutes, or until just done at the center and browned.

4. While the squid is cooking, make the dip by combining the mayonnaise, tomato paste, yogurt, water, minced garlic and basil. Garnish the squid with fresh parsley and serve with the tomato dip on the side.
