Ingredients
Scale
Ravioli
- 1 package (9 oz) fresh ravioli (cheese or your favorite filling)
Coating
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)
For Serving
- Marinara or Alfredo sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prep the Coating: In a bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until smooth and combined to create the egg wash.
- Mix the Breadcrumbs: In another bowl, combine the Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley, mixing well to ensure even seasoning.
- Coat the Ravioli: Dip each fresh ravioli into the beaten eggs, then immediately coat each piece evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring full coverage for a crispy finish.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the ravioli.
- Arrange and Spray: Place the coated ravioli in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them crisp up beautifully.
- Air Fry the Ravioli: Cook the ravioli for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to evenly brown both sides until they are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the ravioli bites from the air fryer and serve immediately with marinara or Alfredo sauce for dipping, enjoying them hot and crispy.
Notes
- Use fresh ravioli for best texture; frozen ravioli may alter cooking time and results.
- Feel free to use any favorite ravioli filling such as cheese, spinach, or meat.
- For extra crispiness, you can double dip in the egg and breadcrumb mixture.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; check ravioli frequently to avoid burning.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh to retain their crisp texture.
