Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (9-10 oz/255-285g) refrigerated cheese ravioli (about 18–20 pieces)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) water
- 1½ cups (180g) Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- ½ cup (45g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon (5g) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5g) dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon (2.5g) salt
- ¼ teaspoon (1g) black pepper
- Olive oil cooking spray
- ½ cup (120ml) marinara sauce, warmed for serving
- 2 tablespoons (8g) fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Breading Station First, set up your assembly line for efficiency. In one shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined. In a second bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly distributed. The egg mixture will help the seasoned coating adhere to the ravioli, creating that perfect crispy exterior.
- Step 2: Coat The Ravioli Take each piece of cold ravioli and dip it thoroughly in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s completely coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off before transferring to the breadcrumb mixture. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto both sides of the ravioli to create an even coating. Place the breaded ravioli on a clean plate or baking sheet, continuing until all pieces are coated.
- Step 3: Air Fryer Method If using an air fryer, preheat it to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray. Arrange a single layer of breaded ravioli in the basket, making sure they don’t touch. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip each piece, spray again lightly, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Step 4: Oven Method For the oven method, preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the breaded ravioli in a single layer. Spray or drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully flip each piece and bake for another 7-8 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the coating is crisp to the touch.
- Step 5: Serve Transfer your Toasted Ravioli in Air Fryer or Oven to a serving platter while still hot. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately alongside warmed marinara sauce for dipping. The contrast between the crispy, savory ravioli and the tangy, warm sauce creates the perfect bite every time.
