Ingredients
Scale
Ravioli
- 1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
Breading Mixture
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Additional
- Olive oil spray
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the ravioli evenly and to crispiness.
- Coat Ravioli: Place the cheese ravioli in a shallow bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Toss gently to fully coat each ravioli, which helps the breadcrumb mixture to adhere better.
- Prepare Breading: In a separate bowl, combine the Italian-style breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. This mixture gives the ravioli their signature crispy and flavorful crust.
- Bread the Ravioli: Dredge each buttermilk-coated ravioli in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to make sure the coating sticks well, creating a thick, even layer all around.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the breaded ravioli in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Make sure they don’t overlap to allow hot air circulation for even crisping.
- Apply Olive Oil Spray: Lightly spray the ravioli with olive oil to help them crisp up beautifully and develop a golden brown color.
- Air Fry: Cook the ravioli at 400°F (200°C) for 6–8 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure each side becomes crispy and golden.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the crispy ravioli warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Frozen ravioli can be used but must be thawed completely before breading for best results.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
