Ingredients
Scale
For the ravioli bites:
- 1 package (about 20 ounces) refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 1/2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- olive oil spray
- marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare breading station: Place flour in one shallow bowl. In a second bowl, whisk eggs with milk. In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Bread the ravioli: Dip each ravioli in flour, then egg mixture, and finally coat in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Air fry: Arrange breaded ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with olive oil. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a luxurious touch, use truffle-flavored Parmesan or fresh herbs as a garnish.
