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 flavoring throughout the coating.
- Beat the eggs: Crack two large eggs into a separate shallow dish and whisk lightly with a fork until the yolks and whites are combined.
- Coat the ravioli: Dip each ravioli piece first into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly covered with the crumbs and cheese.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Place the coated ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching to allow air circulation. You may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Spray with cooking spray: Lightly spray the top of the ravioli with cooking spray to promote browning and crispiness during cooking.
- Air fry the ravioli: Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve warm: Remove from air fryer and serve immediately with warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- To reheat toasted ravioli in the oven, bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
- To reheat in the air fryer, warm at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-5 minutes until hot and crispy.
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with dried basil or oregano depending on your flavor preference.
- If using frozen ravioli, thaw completely for best results before breading and cooking.
- Cooking spray can be replaced with a light brushing of olive oil for a different flavor profile.
