Crispy air fryer ravioli is a quick and easy party appetizer featuring golden, crunchy ravioli coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and parmesan, served with warm marinara sauce. This healthier twist on a classic Italian comfort food is perfect for gatherings, game nights, or family snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese ravioli (or any filling; thaw if frozen)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (for serving)
  • Extra parmesan, for sprinkling
  • Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish (optional)
  • Cooking spray (olive oil or neutral spray)

Instructions

  1. Pat ravioli dry with a paper towel if using refrigerated or thawed frozen ravioli.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Dip each ravioli into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Arrange breaded ravioli on a baking sheet. For extra crunch, repeat the breadcrumb dip (double-dip).
  5. Preheat air fryer to 370°F for 3 minutes. Spray the basket lightly with cooking spray.
  6. Arrange ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Spray tops lightly with cooking spray.
  7. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Add 1–2 minutes if needed.
  8. While ravioli cook, warm marinara sauce in a saucepan or microwave.
  9. Transfer crispy ravioli to a platter, sprinkle with extra parmesan and chopped herbs. Serve hot with marinara for dipping.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF ravioli and breadcrumbs. For vegan, use plant-based ravioli, milk, and parmesan. Double-dip for extra crunch. Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed. Keep first batch warm in a low oven if making for a crowd. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for best crispiness.
