Air Fryer Ravioli

Turn frozen ravioli into a work of art with this simple method for making air fryer ravioli. These ravioli are crispy, cheesy, and irresistible with a side of marinara sauce.

Recipe Overview

Deep-fried, breaded ravioli are a favorite appetizer at Italian restaurants, and now you can make air fryer ravioli at home with just a few simple ingredients.

These air-fried ravioli are crunchy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside with a flavorful breadcrumb crust.

You’ll love these dipped into marinara sauce as a snack or a simple meal.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Bread Crumbs – Use whatever type you have at home, but regular, plain breadcrumbs work best for this recipe.
• Italian Seasoning – This blend of herbs, spices, and salt goes perfectly with the ravioli and adds the right about of flavor.
• Eggs – Beaten eggs help the breadcrumbs stick to the ravioli in the air fryer.
• Frozen Ravioli – Thaw your ravioli before cooking. I find they thaw the best in the fridge overnight.

how to make it

1. Put the eggs in their own shallow bowl and whisk them. Put the bread crumbs into a shallow bowl and mix with spices.
2. Dredge the thawed ravioli through the egg mixture.
3. Then dredge the egg-coated ravioli into the bread crumbs. Flip and cover both sides.
4. Place breaded ravioli into the air fryer basket or tray and air fry at 350F/176C for 8-10 minutes.
5. Flip the breaded ravioli mid-way through. If the bread crumbs are not crisping up, you can spritz with oil.
6. Optionally: garnish with chopped fresh basil and serve with marinara sauce.

air frying fresh ravioli?

I created this recipe to air fry frozen ravioli because for me they are easier to find at the store and generally less expensive. Frozen ravioli usually come in either cheese or beef flavors, and both work well in this recipe.

You can absolutely use fresh ravioli to make this recipe though. Fresh ravioli sometimes come in really fun flavors like mushroom or seafood which would be really interesting.
