Crispy Ravioli Bites Prepared in an Air Fryer

These crispy air fryer ravioli bites are crunchy on the outside, cheesy and tender on the inside, and incredibly easy to make! They’re the perfect appetizer, snack, or party food that tastes like restaurant-style toasted ravioli without deep frying. The air fryer creates a golden crispy coating using very little oil, making this recipe lighter while still packed with flavor. Serve them with warm marinara sauce for the ultimate dipping experience.

Preparation Time

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 8–10 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Servings

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated cheese ravioli (about 20 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

For Serving

  • Marinara sauce
  • Extra Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Coating Stations

In one bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika.

Step 2: Coat the Ravioli

Dip each ravioli first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly so the coating sticks well.

Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.

Step 4: Arrange in Basket

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the coated ravioli in a single layer without overlapping. Spray the tops lightly with oil.

Step 5: Air Fry

Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. The ravioli should become golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Serve Hot

Transfer the crispy ravioli bites to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce.

Tips

  • Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed.
  • Frozen ravioli can also be used—just add 2–3 extra minutes of cooking time.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
  • Panko breadcrumbs make the coating even crispier.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–4 minutes to restore crispiness.

Final Thoughts

These air fryer crispy ravioli bites are crunchy, cheesy, and perfect for any occasion. They’re easy to prepare, fun to eat, and make a crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack with minimal effort. Once you try them fresh from the air fryer, they’ll quickly become a favorite in your kitchen!
