Toasted Breaded Ravioli

Method

  1. 1

    Do NOT thaw the ravioli — frozen works best for breading.

  2. 2

    Dip frozen ravioli in beaten egg, then press into breadcrumb-Parmesan-seasoning mixture.

  3. 3

    Spray with oil. Arrange in a single layer.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve with warm marinara, fresh basil, and extra Parmesan.

Pro tip. Frozen ravioli is the secret — thawed ravioli is too soft and the breading slides off. These are best served immediately. For meat-filled ravioli, add 1-2 minutes of cook time.

Why the air fryer wins here

  • Ready in 10 minutes. The same dish takes about 16 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
  • Uses a fraction of the oil of deep frying, which is how this comes in at 240 calories a serving.
  • Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
