Ingredients
1 package (about 9–12 oz) fresh or thawed frozen ravioli
2 large eggs (or 1 egg + 1 tbsp water)
1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning (or a mix of garlic powder, salt, and pepper)
Cooking spray or light oil mist
Marinara or other dipping sauce, for serving
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) if required.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs (or egg + water). In another dish, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
Dip each ravioli into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so crumbs adhere.
Lightly spray both sides of the breaded ravioli with cooking spray or oil mist.
Arrange ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket; do not overcrowd. Work in batches if necessary.
Air fry for 3–5 minutes, flip, then cook another 3–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
Serve immediately with warm marinara or your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
Use fresh or fully thawed ravioli for best texture.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer; air circulation ensures even crisping.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–5 days and reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes.
Try gluten-free breadcrumbs or coatings for a gluten-free version.
