Ingredients
Scale
Ravioli
- 12 oz fresh ravioli from the refrigerated section
Breading
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Serving
- ½ cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, thoroughly whisk the 2 eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined, preparing the egg wash for breading.
- Prepare Breading: In a separate bowl, mix together ½ cup breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning to create a flavorful breading mixture.
- Bread the Ravioli: Dip each fresh ravioli individually into the whisked eggs to coat, then immediately dredge in the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated on all sides for maximum crispiness.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even and quick cooking of the ravioli.
- Air Fry: Arrange the breaded ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway through, until the ravioli are golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Carefully remove the crispy ravioli from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve immediately with ½ cup of marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh refrigerated ravioli for best texture and flavor; frozen ravioli may require additional cooking time.
- For extra crispiness, spray the breaded ravioli lightly with cooking spray before air frying.
- Customize the breading by adding garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes for added flavor.
- Monitor the ravioli near the end of cooking to prevent over-browning or burning.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
