Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 10-ounce package ravioli (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 2/3 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or dried basil)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup marinara sauce (warmed, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the breading mixture: In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning (or dried basil), and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Beat the eggs: In another shallow dish, whisk the two large eggs with a fork until fully combined and lightly frothy.
- Coat the ravioli: Dip each ravioli piece first into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the bread crumb mixture.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the breaded ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to air fry in batches to avoid crowding.
- Apply cooking spray: Lightly spray the arranged ravioli with cooking spray to encourage even browning and crispiness.
- Air fry: Cook the ravioli in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 6 minutes until they turn golden and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the toasted ravioli warm with the warmed marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For reheating leftover toasted ravioli, use the oven at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes or the air fryer at 350 degrees for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
- You can use fresh or frozen ravioli; if using frozen, thaw them before coating.
- Adjust the seasoning in the bread crumbs to your preference, adding more Italian seasoning for a stronger herb flavor.
- Cooking spray helps achieve a crispy texture but can be omitted for a lower fat option; however, the ravioli might not brown as uniformly.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the ravioli at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden.
