Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) fresh ravioli
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (60 grams) breadcrumbs
- ½ cup (50 grams) grated parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Dipping Sauce:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) marinara sauce
Instructions
- Create a well-organized breading station with three separate vessels: one for eggs, another for breadcrumb mixture, and the last for fresh ravioli.
- Thoroughly whisk eggs in a medium-sized bowl until smooth and uniformly blended.
- Combine grated parmesan, breadcrumbs, and Italian seasoning in a separate shallow dish, ensuring even distribution of herbs and cheese.
- Delicately immerse each ravioli into whisked eggs, allowing excess liquid to drip off before transferring to the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
- Carefully coat ravioli completely with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure a consistent, adherent layer of crispy coating.
- Position breaded ravioli on a clean plate, then uniformly mist both sides with olive oil cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
- Activate air fryer and preheat to 380°F (190°C) for precise temperature calibration.
- Arrange breaded ravioli in a single, non-overlapping layer within the air fryer basket to guarantee even heat circulation.
- Air fry for 6-7 minutes, monitoring color transformation until ravioli achieve a golden, puffy exterior with crisp texture.
- Immediately transfer crisp ravioli to a serving platter and accompany with marinara sauce or preferred dipping condiment for immediate enjoyment.
Notes
- Breading technique transforms ordinary ravioli into crispy, golden appetizers with minimal effort.
- Coating ravioli in parmesan and breadcrumbs creates a crunchy exterior that locks in cheesy goodness.
- Olive oil spray ensures even browning and prevents sticking in the air fryer basket.
- Single-layer arrangement is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness and preventing soggy results.
- Quick 6-7 minute cooking time guarantees perfectly heated ravioli without overcooking.
- Serving with marinara sauce elevates this simple snack into a restaurant-style finger food perfect for gatherings.
