Ingredients
Scale
Ravioli
- 20 ounce package refrigerated ravioli
Egg Wash
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Breading
- 1 cup Italian seasoned Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (shaker style/powder works best)
Garnish & Serving
- Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare Ravioli: Open the package of refrigerated ravioli and carefully separate any pieces stuck together; do not boil them as per package directions. Set aside.
- Make Egg Wash: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, coarse salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Coat Ravioli in Egg Mix: Place the ravioli into the seasoned egg mixture and toss carefully to ensure every piece is coated. Set aside.
- Mix Breadcrumbs: In a medium bowl, combine the Italian seasoned Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bread the Ravioli: Press the egg-coated ravioli into the breadcrumb mixture a few at a time, coating all sides well. Shake off any excess breadcrumbs.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated ravioli in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure pieces are not touching. Use a sheet of plastic wrap between layers if stacking is necessary.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the ravioli in a single layer with space between each piece; you will need to cook them in batches.
- Spray Ravioli: Lightly spray the tops of the ravioli with cooking spray to enhance browning.
- Preheat Air Fryer: If your air fryer requires preheating, set it to 400°F and preheat for 5 minutes.
- Air Fry: Place the ravioli in the air fryer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they are crispy, golden brown, and heated through.
- Repeat: Continue the breading and air frying process with the remaining ravioli batches.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the toasted ravioli with fresh chopped parsley and additional grated Parmesan if desired. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
