Crispy Air-Fried Ravioli

Crispy Air-Fried Ravioli is a crunchy and indulgent appetizer or snack that’s easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser. These ravioli are coated in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture, then air-fried to golden perfection, creating a crispy exterior with a warm, cheesy or meaty filling inside. Perfect for dipping in marinara or your favorite sauce, this recipe is a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried ravioli.


Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 12 large refrigerated ravioli (cheese-filled or your preferred type)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil spray
  • Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.

    • Place the flour in a shallow bowl.
    • In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
    • In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Coat the Ravioli:
    • Dredge each ravioli in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  4. Air-Fry the Ravioli:
    • Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
    • Place the coated ravioli in a single layer in the basket. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
    • Air-fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Key Notes:

  1. Ravioli Type: Use fresh or refrigerated ravioli for the best results. Frozen ravioli should be thawed first.
  2. Crispiness Tip: Lightly spraying the tops with olive oil ensures even browning and extra crispiness.
  3. Dipping Sauce: Pair with marinara, ranch, or even a creamy Alfredo sauce for variety.
  4. Storage and Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.
  5. Customization: Add a spicy kick by mixing cayenne pepper or red chili flakes into the breadcrumb mixture.
