Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli
Description
This recipe starts by boiling fresh or thawed ravioli for a brief three minutes to soften the pasta while maintaining shape. The ravioli is then dipped in an egg, water, and flour wash before being rolled in seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with dried oregano, basil, thyme, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese for flavor and crunch.
Arranged spaced in the air fryer basket and sprayed with oil, the ravioli cooks at 370 degrees for 4 minutes per batch, yielding a crispy golden coating around the soft filling. The dish is suitable as an appetizer or snack served with favorite dipping sauces.
Alternatively, these ravioli can be baked for 20-22 minutes with a turn and broil finish for crispness, as explained in the notes. Reheating in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes keeps them crisp. Nutritional details indicate a light calorie count per piece, making them a manageable indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 package ravioli fresh is preferred (if using frozen, let the ravioli thaw on the counter for an hour before using, fresh or frozen
For egg coating:
- 1 large egg
- 1 TBS water
- 1 TBS whole wheat flour (white is okay too)
For crumb coating:
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 tsp basil dried
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 TBS Parmesan Cheese fine
Notes
- If baking instead of air frying, cook coated ravioli at 350°F for 15 minutes, flip, spray with oil, bake 5-7 more minutes, then optionally broil 1-2 minutes for extra crispness.
- To reheat crispy ravioli, air fry at 370°F for 2-3 minutes to restore texture.
- Fresh ravioli is ideal, but frozen ravioli should thaw at room temperature for an hour before use.
