Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (12 ounces/340 grams) refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (100 grams) Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) milk
Cheese and Seasoning:
- ¼ cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Cooking and Serving:
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Marinara or pizza sauce (for dipping)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare an egg wash by whisking eggs and milk together in a shallow mixing vessel.
- Create a crispy coating mixture by blending breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika in a separate container.
- Thoroughly immerse each ravioli in the egg mixture, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Meticulously roll the egg-coated ravioli in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to achieve a uniform, crisp exterior.
- Position the breaded ravioli on a clean plate, allowing them to rest momentarily.
- Activate the air fryer and set the temperature to 375F (190C), allowing it to warm for three minutes.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully arrange the breaded ravioli in a single layer without overcrowding, ensuring each piece has adequate space.
- Delicately mist the top of the ravioli with additional cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
- Cook the ravioli for 6-8 minutes, rotating them midway through the cooking process to achieve an even, golden-brown crust.
- Once crisp and beautifully colored, extract the ravioli from the air fryer.
- Optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added visual appeal and flavor.
- Serve immediately alongside marinara or pizza sauce for a delightful dipping experience.
Notes
- Bread ravioli in small batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure maximum crispiness in the air fryer.
- Choose high-quality refrigerated or fresh cheese ravioli for the best flavor and texture.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for an extra kick of heat and flavor complexity.
- Pat ravioli dry before coating to help breadcrumbs adhere more effectively and create a crunchier exterior.
