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
To Serve
- ½ cup marinara sauce
Instructions
- Whisk Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and well combined to create the egg wash necessary for coating the ravioli.
- Prepare Breading: In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed for a flavorful crust.
- Bread the Ravioli: Dip each fresh ravioli first into the egg wash, making sure it’s fully coated, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to cover completely. Place the breaded ravioli on a plate or tray while preparing.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crispy finish.
- Air Fry the Ravioli: Arrange the breaded ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for approximately 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the ravioli are golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Carefully transfer the crispy ravioli to a serving dish and offer with warm marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for an irresistible appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh ravioli for the best texture; frozen ravioli may require slight adjustments in cook time.
- Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation for crispiness.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
- Serve immediately for the best crunch; leftovers can be reheated briefly in the air fryer.
