Ingredients

  • 1 lb squid, cleaned
  • 1 lb baby potatoes
  • 2 medium red bell pepper
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut 1 lb baby potatoes into wedges and 2 red bell peppers into wide strips. Toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Roast potatoes and peppers until potatoes are golden and tender, about 25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway. They should pierce easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    While vegetables roast, pat 1 lb squid dry and toss with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt. Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill squid for 2-3 minutes per side until charred and opaque, turning once. Do not overcook or it will become rubbery.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup yogurt with juice of half the lemon and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

  6. 6

    When vegetables are done, toss with juice of remaining lemon half and 1/4 cup chopped parsley. Serve squid over vegetables with yogurt sauce on the side.
