Ingredients
-
12–16 pieces frozen ravioli (any filling)

1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned recommended)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Marinara sauce, for serving
Instructions
Air Fryer Method
-
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
-
Set up a breading station:
-
Bowl 1: beaten eggs (or milk)
-
Bowl 2: breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan
-
-
Dip each frozen ravioli into the egg mixture, then coat well with breadcrumbs. Press gently so crumbs stick.
-
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Arrange ravioli in a single layer and spray lightly on top.

Air fry for 10–12 minutes, until golden and crispy.

Arrange breaded ravioli on the sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
-
Do not thaw the ravioli before breading.
-
Avoid overcrowding to ensure even crisping.

Add garlic powder or Italian seasoning to breadcrumbs for extra flavor.

For extra crunch, spray lightly with oil before cooking.
