    Have you ever tried air fryer ravioli? It's a delicious way to enjoy a much-loved appetizer.  With all the flavor of deep-fried ravioli (but not all the calories), this quick and easy recipe will surely be a hit.

    Air frying gives ravioli a crispy crust perfect for dipping in your favorite sauce. You'll be surprised at how good air fryer ravioli tastes!

    Ingredients for Making Fried Ravioli in the Air Fryer

    • Eggs:  You will want two large eggs.
    • Breadcrumbs: Use plain bread crumbs.  If you have seasoned breadcrumbs, omit the Italian seasoning.
    • Parmesan:  Finely grated fresh parmesan is best.
    • Seasonings:  A blend of Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper gives the breading the right kick.  Garlic powder and oregano are also fabulous additions.
    • Ravioli:  I used cheese and spinach-filled fresh ravioli, but you can use whatever kind you like.

    Tips & Tricks

    • Cook the ravioli in batches if necessary. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the ravioli in batches. If so, keep an eye on the temperature of the air fryer so that it doesn't get too hot.
    • Make sure you spray both sides of the pasta when cooking toasted ravioli in the air fryer.  This will help prevent the ravioli from sticking to the basket and making a mess.
    • Preheat the air fryer for a few minutes before making air fryer toasted ravioli. This will help ensure that the ravioli cooks evenly.

    Serving Suggestions

    To turn this air-fried ravioli into a meal, serve it with a green salad with Italian Dressing.  The crispy ravioli are a perfect contrast to the fresh greens, and the dressing ties everything together.

    What Do You Dip Toasted Ravioli In?

    My favorite sauce for fried ravioli is marinara, and my go-to recipe is this Crockpot Marinara.  Alfredo sauce and pesto are also great options.
    Another great option for dipping is ranch dressing.  You can keep things lighter without sacrificing flavor using this Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I reheat toasted ravioli?


    I recommend reheating them in your air fryer for about 5 minutes or until just warm.

    Can I air fry frozen ravioli?


    Yes!  You can cook frozen ravioli in the air fryer. Simply increase your cooking time by about 5 minutes, keeping a close eye so that the outside doesn’t burn.

    Do I need to coat the air fryer basket with oil?


    I recommend coating the ravioli with oil, not the air fryer basket.  This helps them to crisp up without causing excess smoking.

    Can I freeze toasted ravioli?


    If you use fresh - not previously frozen - ravioli, you can freeze them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.  Once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container and store them for up to three months.
