Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) fresh ravioli
- ½ cup (50 g) grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup (60 g) breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup (120 ml) marinara sauce
Instructions
- Preparation Setup: Establish a three-zone breading configuration with eggs, seasoned breadcrumbs, and uncoated ravioli, ensuring all components are within easy reach.
- Egg Coating: Submerge each ravioli into whisked eggs, allowing excess to cascade back into the bowl, creating a light, even layer.
- Breadcrumb Transformation: Roll egg-dipped ravioli through parmesan-infused breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to secure a uniform, crispy exterior that adheres completely.
- Oil Preparation: Uniformly mist breaded ravioli with olive oil spray, promoting optimal browning and crunch throughout the coating.
- Air Fryer Configuration: Preheat air fryer to 380°F (190°C), then strategically place ravioli in a single, uncrowded layer to maximize circulating heat and ensure consistent cooking.
- Culinary Execution: Air fry for 6-7 minutes, watching for a radiant golden-brown transformation that signals perfectly crisp, puffy ravioli with a delectable crunch.
- Serving Finale: Immediately transfer crisp ravioli to a warm platter and present alongside marinara sauce or preferred dipping companion for an irresistible appetizer experience.
Notes
- Breading Technique: Create a systematic three-vessel setup for even, mess-free coating that ensures maximum crispiness and flavor adherence.
- Coating Pro Tip: Press breadcrumb mixture gently but firmly onto ravioli to create a uniform, crisp exterior that locks in delicious filling.
- Spacing Strategy: Arrange ravioli in a single, non-touching layer to guarantee perfect golden-brown crunch and even cooking throughout.
- Oil Spray Hack: Lightly mist both sides with olive oil cooking spray to boost crispiness and achieve a restaurant-quality golden finish.
