How to Make Fried Ravioli in the Air Fryer
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, dried basil, black pepper, and garlic powder together.
Step 3
Measure and pour flour into a medium bowl.
Step 4
Crack eggs and whisk in a separate bowl. Create a dredging station with the bowls to bread the ravioli.
Step 5
Dip ravioli in flour to coat both sides and shake off excess.
Step 6
Dip the ravioli in the egg mixture, then the breadcrumb mixture, patting crumbs into the ravioli so that it adheres.
Step 7
In batches, arrange ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the ravioli with olive oil after breading before air frying.
Step 8
Air fry ravioli at 350 degrees F for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking process until golden brown.
Step 9
Serve with your favorite marinara or dipping sauce.
I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages cook time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
Variations
Optional Toppings: Fresh minced basil, dusting of parmesan cheese,
