Air Fryer Crispy Ravioli

Air Fryer Crispy Ravioli is a quick and easy snack that delivers a golden, crunchy exterior with bold flavors in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Frozen ravioli (cheese or meat-filled) – about 12 pieces
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure the coating is evenly flavored and crunchy.
  2. Spray the Ravioli: Lightly spray your frozen or thawed ravioli all over with olive oil spray. This helps the breadcrumb mixture stick and creates a golden crispy exterior.
  3. Coat the Ravioli: Press each ravioli gently but thoroughly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides. Arrange coated ravioli on a plate or tray ready for air frying.
  4. Air Fry the Ravioli: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the ravioli in a single layer inside the basket, avoiding overcrowding for even cooking. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove ravioli from the air fryer and let cool briefly to firm up. Serve hot with marinara sauce or your preferred dipping sauce and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  • You can air fry ravioli straight from frozen; just increase cooking time slightly.
  • Use a light olive oil spray to help crisp the coating without greasing the ravioli.
  • Flip ravioli halfway through cooking for even browning.
  • Experiment with breadcrumb seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes.
  • Freeze uncooked coated ravioli in a single layer for up to 1 month for quick snacks later.
