Let’s be real—few things in life are as satisfying as biting into a crunchy little pillow of ravioli goodness. These Toasted Ravioli in Air Fryer (or oven, if that’s your vibe) are a guaranteed crowd favorite. They’re crispy, cheesy, and oh-so-dippable—basically the ultimate snack for game night, holiday spreads, or random Tuesdays when you just want something fun and fried… minus all the deep-fryer drama.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag frozen cheese ravioli – no need to thaw; they crisp better straight from the freezer.
  • 2 eggs – lightly whisked to help the coating stick.
  • 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs – gives that irresistible, airy crunch.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning – adds a touch of herby magic.
  • ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper – simple but essential.
  • 1 tablespoon oil or oil spray – helps everything crisp up beautifully.
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese – for that savory finish.
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or basil – fresh or dried, your call.

Instructions

  • 🔥 How to Make Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli
    1. Set up your coating stations. Beat the eggs in one bowl until smooth. In another shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
    2. Coat the ravioli. Dip each frozen ravioli into the egg, making sure it’s fully coated, then roll it around in the breadcrumb mixture until it’s evenly covered. Repeat with the rest.
    3. Prep your air fryer. Spray the basket lightly with oil. Arrange the ravioli in a single layer—no overlapping! They need room to crisp.
    4. Air fry to golden perfection. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 14 minutes. Halfway through, flip the ravioli and mist them again with oil. Keep going until they’re crisp and golden on both sides.
    5. Serve and enjoy! Once cooked, transfer to a plate and sprinkle with Parmesan and herbs. Serve immediately with marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
  • 🍽️ How to Make Oven-Baked Toasted Ravioli
    1. No air fryer? No worries—your oven’s got this covered!
    2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
    3. Place the coated ravioli in a single layer on the sheet and spray lightly with oil.
    4. Bake for 10 minutes, flip each ravioli, give another quick spray, and bake 5–6 minutes more until golden and crisp.
    5. Sprinkle with cheese and herbs, then serve hot with your favorite dip.

Notes

💡 Pro Tips

  • Cook in batches: Crowding the basket or baking sheet prevents that perfect crunch.
  • Panko > regular breadcrumbs: The texture difference is next-level crispy.
  • Season creatively: Add a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or even chili flakes for extra flavor.
  • Serve right away: They taste best hot and crunchy—fresh from the fryer or oven.
  • Want to get fancy? Try drizzling them with a little truffle oil or topping with extra Parmesan before serving.

🧊 Storage & Reheating

  • If you somehow have leftovers (doubtful, but okay):
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes or in the oven for 8–10 minutes until crispy again.
  • Avoid the microwave—trust me, it’ll turn them soft and sad.
