Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (255 g) fresh ravioli (cheese or favorite filling)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup (240 ml) Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Cooking spray
- Marinara or Alfredo sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Whisk eggs thoroughly in a mixing vessel, ensuring a smooth, uniform consistency for optimal coating adhesion.
- Combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, aromatic garlic powder, and finely chopped parsley in a separate shallow dish, mixing until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Individually immerse each ravioli into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully transfer to the seasoned breadcrumb blend, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Activate the air fryer and set temperature precisely to 375°F, allowing it to fully preheat for consistent cooking results.
- Strategically arrange ravioli in a single layer within the air fryer basket, ensuring minimal overlap to promote optimal crispiness.
- Delicately mist the coated ravioli with cooking spray to enhance golden browning and prevent sticking.
- Execute air frying process for 8-10 minutes, rotating pieces midway to guarantee uniform crunchiness and attractive golden-brown exterior.
- Once cooking completes, extract ravioli and let rest momentarily to stabilize crispy coating.
- Present immediately alongside marinara or creamy Alfredo sauce, offering guests delectable dipping options.
Notes
- Experiment with different cheese-filled ravioli to discover unique flavor combinations that suit your taste preferences.
- Freeze uncooked breaded ravioli for quick future appetizers by laying them flat on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed pork rinds for a low-carb alternative that maintains the crispy texture of the original recipe.
- Pat ravioli dry before coating to ensure the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture adhere perfectly and create an extra crunchy exterior.
