Description

Crispy Ravioli Appetizer is a crispy, cheesy bite—air fried or baked ravioli coated in parmesan and breadcrumbs, served with marinara for dipping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese ravioli (or spinach and cheese)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) or oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In one bowl, beat eggs. In another, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each ravioli in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Arrange ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket (or on a parchment-lined baking sheet). Lightly spray with olive oil.
  5. Air fry for 8–10 minutes or bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
  6. Serve hot with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For dipping, warm marinara sauce until smooth.
  • Lightly spray olive oil on the coated ravioli to help crisp.
  • For easier handling, freeze the coated ravioli for 15–20 minutes before cooking.
  • Use spinach and cheese ravioli for a variation.
  • Can be made entirely in the oven or entirely in the air fryer.
