Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 10-ounce package ravioli (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 2/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried basil)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup marinara sauce (warmed, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Breading Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoned bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning (or dried basil), and salt. Mix well to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Beat the Eggs: In another shallow dish, lightly beat the 2 large eggs with a fork until smooth.
- Coat the Ravioli: Dip each ravioli piece into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated, then transfer it to the bread crumb mixture and coat evenly on all sides.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to preheat briefly.
- Arrange Ravioli in Air Fryer Basket: Place the breaded ravioli in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Spray with Cooking Spray: Lightly spray the ravioli with cooking spray to promote even browning and crispness.
- Air Fry the Ravioli: Cook at 350 degrees for 6 minutes until the ravioli is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve Warm: Remove from air fryer and serve immediately with warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For reheating toasted ravioli, preheat oven to 375 degrees and bake for 10-15 minutes or reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes until warm.
- If you don’t have Italian seasoned bread crumbs, use plain bread crumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- Using fresh ravioli will yield a softer interior, while frozen ravioli gives a chewier texture.
- Make sure to coat ravioli thoroughly to achieve maximum crispness.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model; check for golden brown color as an indicator of doneness.
