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 breading mixture: In a small bowl, combine Italian seasoned bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning (or dried basil), and salt, mixing well to blend all the flavors.
- Beat eggs: In another shallow dish, lightly beat the two large eggs with a fork until smooth, ready for dipping the ravioli.
- Bread the ravioli: Dip each ravioli into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge thoroughly in the bread crumb mixture until evenly covered.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the breaded ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap; work in batches if necessary.
- Apply cooking spray: Lightly spray the ravioli with cooking spray to encourage browning and crispy texture during cooking.
- Air fry the ravioli: Cook the ravioli in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 6 minutes, turning or shaking the basket halfway through if possible to crisp evenly.
- Serve: Remove the toasted ravioli carefully and serve warm with a side of warmed marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- To reheat leftover toasted ravioli, warm in the oven at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes or in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
- If you prefer baking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees, arrange ravioli on a baking sheet in a single layer, spray with cooking spray, and bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Using fresh ravioli will provide a more delicate texture, but frozen thawed ravioli works well too.
- Feel free to substitute Italian seasoning with dried oregano or parsley for a different herb flavor.
- For a crispier coating, double dip the ravioli by repeating the egg and bread crumb steps.
