Ingredients
1 (12-ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli (or any flavor you like)
2 large eggs, beaten (or ½ cup milk for dairy-free option)
1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil spray or light drizzle of olive oil
Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
Prepare the breading station: In one shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. In another, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat the ravioli: Dip each frozen ravioli into the egg mixture, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
Air Fryer Method: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange coated ravioli in a single layer in the basket, lightly spray with olive oil, and air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange ravioli in a single layer, spray or drizzle lightly with olive oil, and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
Serve: Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
Make ahead: Bread ravioli and freeze on a baking sheet. Once solid, transfer to a bag. Cook straight from frozen—no thawing needed.
Extra crispy tip: After coating, let ravioli rest 5 minutes before cooking to help the breadcrumbs adhere better.
Variations: Try adding crushed red pepper to the breadcrumbs for spice, or use gluten-free ravioli and breadcrumbs.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes for best crunch.
