What You Need To Make This Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli Recipe?

While you can use ravioli in a pinch if possible opt, for the variety; it’s like bringing a touch of Italy to your plate. If you do go with frozen be kind enough to let them thaw on the counter for an hour ensuring they blend well with the other ingredients.
Egg: Now let’s talk about the egg. It’s not any egg; it’s like the secret ingredient that gives your ravioli that perfect crispiness and adds a touch of richness that will make you fall in love. Think of it as a jacket for your ravioli holding everything snugly. Mix it up with some water and flour. You’ve got yourself the coating for your ravioli to show off their flavors.
Breadcrumbs: Ah, breadcrumbs. They’re more than a crispy layer; they’re like an artist’s canvas waiting for a culinary masterpiece. Imagine dried oregano, basil and thyme twirling around in a dance. Sprinkle in some salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Et voilà! You have a combination of breadcrumbs that adds not only texture but also a harmonious blend of Italian flavors that will truly delight your taste buds.
Steps To Make Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli:
Step 1: To start put a pot of water on the stove. Bring it to a boil. Once boiling add the ravioli. Let them cook for 3 minutes. Then use a colander to drain the cooked ravioli and set them aside.
Step 2: In a bowl combine an egg, some water and flour to make an egg mixture. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined and set it aside.
Step 3: Next prepare the mixture by mixing breadcrumbs, with dried herbs, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese in another sized bowl. Whisk all the ingredients together thoroughly. Set it aside.
Step 4: Now you can set up an assembly line with the egg mixture bowl next to the breadcrumb mixture bowl.
Step 5: Take 2 or 3 ravioli at a time. Dip them into the egg mixture so that they are evenly coated. Use tongs to lift each ravioli out of the egg mixture one by one. Let any drip off before placing them into the breadcrumb mixture. Shake each ravioli in the breadcrumb mixture until they are fully coated. Repeat this process for all of your ravioli.
Step 6: Arrange the coated ravioli side by side, in your air fryer without letting them touch each other. Lightly spray some oil on top of each piece of ravioli using a cooking spray.
Step 7: Set your Air Fryer temperature to 370 degrees Fahrenheit (187 degrees Celsius). Cook for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes have passed carefully flip over each ravioli. Lightly spray their tops with oil again.
Step 8: Keep cooking the ravioli at 370 degrees, for another 3 minutes. Repeat this step until all the ravioli are cooked.
Step 9: Serve the toasted ravioli from your air fryer with your favorite dipping sauces. Savor the delicious and crispy goodness!
Tip:
When it comes to achieving that crispy texture, for your Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli, the key is to avoid overcrowding in the air fryer basket. It can be tempting to pile them up and cook them all at once. Doing so may result in cooking and some ravioli not getting as crispy as desired.
To ensure each ravioli is evenly coated and perfectly crispy place them in a single layer inside the air fryer basket leaving some space, between each piece. This spacing allows for airflow ensuring that hot air can reach every corner of the ravioli. As a result, they will turn beautifully golden and crunchy.
If you’re preparing a larger quantity it’s worth taking the time to cook them in multiple smaller batches. This patience will pay off with crispy and mouthwatering Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli that everyone will love. So embrace the layer method and your ravioli will reward you with their crunch!
