Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Breading Mixture
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Other
- Olive oil spray
- Warm marinara sauce for serving
Instructions
- Soak the Ravioli: Place the refrigerated cheese ravioli in a shallow bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Let the ravioli soak for about 5 minutes to help the breading adhere better.
- Prepare the Breadcrumb Mixture: In another bowl, combine the Italian-style breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a uniform coating.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for cooking the ravioli evenly and crisping the coating.
- Coat the Ravioli: Remove each ravioli from the buttermilk, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Dredge each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the coating firmly to ensure it sticks well on all sides.
- Apply Olive Oil Spray: Lightly spray both sides of the coated ravioli with olive oil spray to promote browning and crispiness during air frying.
- Air Fry the Ravioli: Place the coated ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping the ravioli halfway through the cooking time to achieve an even golden brown crisp.
- Serve: Remove the ravioli from the air fryer once crispy and golden. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy your delicious appetizer.
Notes
- For a spicy twist, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
- You can substitute cheese ravioli with meat or spinach ravioli according to your preference.
