RECIPE FOR AIR FRYER TOASTED RAVIOLI
Air fryer toasted ravioli is a delightful appetizer featuring crispy, breaded ravioli served with marinara sauce. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare this dish at home:
Ingredients:
- 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated ravioli (cheese or meat-filled)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Cooking spray or olive oil spray
- 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed
Instructions:
- Prepare the Breading Station:
-
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
- In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Coat the Ravioli:
-
- Dip each ravioli into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Then, dredge the ravioli in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
- Air Fry the Ravioli:
-
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Arrange the breaded ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
- Lightly spray the tops of the ravioli with cooking spray to promote even browning.
- Cook for 6 minutes, then flip the ravioli, spray the other side, and cook for an additional 4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
-
- Once done, remove the toasted ravioli from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- Serve warm with heated marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- For added flavour, consider adding a teaspoon of Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the breadcrumb mixture.
- If using frozen ravioli, allow them to thaw before breading and air frying.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping.
