Ingredients
Scale
- 9 oz (255g) refrigerated ravioli (cheese, meat, or spinach varieties all work well)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk or beaten egg (for dredging)
- 1 cup (120g) Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Olive oil spray or 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Workstation Set up your breading station with two shallow bowls – one with milk or beaten egg and the other with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This organized approach will streamline your process and prevent the breadcrumbs from becoming too soggy as you work.
- Step 2: Coat The Ravioli Take each ravioli and dip it first in the milk or egg mixture, ensuring it’s completely coated but allowing excess liquid to drip off. Then transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to all surfaces. Place the breaded ravioli on a plate and repeat with remaining pieces. For extra crispiness, you can double-coat by repeating this process after all ravioli have been breaded once.
- Step 3: Preheat and Prepare Air Fryer Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes. Once hot, lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect golden exterior on your **Air Fryer Ravioli**.
- Step 4: Cook the Ravioli Arrange the breaded ravioli in a single layer in your air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch each other. Lightly spray or brush the tops with olive oil. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip each piece and spray again if needed. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the ravioli are crispy and golden brown on both sides. Depending on your air fryer’s size, you may need to work in batches.
- Step 5: Serve Immediately Transfer your **Air Fryer Ravioli** to a serving plate and allow them to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes – they’ll be extremely hot inside! Serve with warm marinara sauce, pesto, or alfredo sauce for dipping. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan and chopped parsley if desired for an extra touch of flavor and presentation appeal.
