Ingredients
Scale
- For the Ravioli Bites:
- 1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- Cooking spray
- For Serving:
- 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Breading Mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Prepare the Egg Wash:
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined.
- Bread the Ravioli:
- Dip each ravioli into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Coat the ravioli in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
- Place the breaded ravioli on a plate or baking sheet.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Ravioli:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Arrange the breaded ravioli in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Lightly spray the tops of the ravioli with cooking spray to promote even browning.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 6 minutes.
- Carefully flip the ravioli halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
- Continue air frying for an additional 4 minutes, or until the ravioli are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Transfer the crispy ravioli bites to a serving platter.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture.
- If using frozen ravioli, ensure they are fully thawed before breading and cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook the ravioli in batches if necessary to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
