Ingredients
Scale
Ravioli Bites
- 1 package (9 oz) fresh ravioli (cheese or your favorite filling)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Cooking spray
Dipping Sauce
- Marinara or Alfredo sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prep the Coating: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined to create the egg wash.
- Mix the Breadcrumbs: In another bowl, combine Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley to form the flavorful breadcrumb mixture.
- Coat the Ravioli: Dip each fresh ravioli into the beaten eggs to moisten, then thoroughly coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even layer for crispiness.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Arrange Ravioli in Basket: Place the coated ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Lightly spray the ravioli with cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
- Air Fry: Cook the ravioli for 8–10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Serve: Remove the ravioli bites and serve them hot with marinara or Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use fresh ravioli for best results; frozen ravioli can be used but may require slight adjustments in cooking time.
- Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow for even crisping.
- For a spicier dipping option, try adding red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.
- Leftover bites can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to maintain crispiness.
