I think air fryer toasted ravioli may be my new favorite appetizer! Each bite of breaded ravioli is flavorful and addicting. I love how the air fryer makes the breaded exterior crispy and then you have an explosion of flavor inside. So good!

Since I got my air fryer in 2020, I’ve been trying out a bunch of easy air fryer recipes. I love how the air fryer gives that deep fried taste without the grease. You only need a little oil for this recipe and that’s so the coated ravioli won’t stick to the air fryer basket.

My motto is use the deep fryer if you have an air fryer. Seriously. You need one if you don’t have one yet. I use it more than my slow cooker and that’s saying a lot!

Ingredients

The full printable recipe card with measurements and instructions is found at the bottom of the post.

All-purpose flour
Eggs
Italian breadcrumbs – Use store-bought or make your own.
Parmesan cheese
Italian seasoning – Use store-bought or use my recipe for homemade Italian seasoning.
Garlic salt
Fresh ravioli – My favorite is cheese ravioli. Other types of ravioli would work, too. It’s based on your personal preference.

How to Make Easy Air Fryer Ravioli

Step One: Place flour in a shallow bowl. Add eggs to a second bowl and whisk together. Add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt to another bowl and stir to combine.

Step Two: Dip individual ravioli in flour, then egg and then breadcrumb mixture to coat.
Step Three: Preheat air fryer to 350°F (if your model calls for preheating). Set air fryer for 8 minute cook time (if your model calls for that).

Step Four: Add ravioli in a single layer to the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Spritz ravioli with an oil spray (I like grapeseed oil). Air fry for 4 minutes. Then, flip ravioli over, spritz with more oil and air fryer an additional 4 minutes or until golden.
Step Five: Remove from air fryer and serve hot with pizza sauce or marinara sauce.

Variations and Substitutions

Use grated Romano cheese instead of Parmesan cheese.
Use basil, oregano or even thyme instead of the Italian seasoning.
Use garlic powder and/or onion powder instead of the garlic salt.
You can use frozen ravioli instead of fresh ravioli. You don’t need to thaw it or cook it ahead of time. However, you may need to cook it slightly longer because it’s frozen (15 to 20 minutes).
Add a little heat to the breading by adding some red pepper flakes.
Use panko breadcrumbs instead of Italian bread crumbs.

Storage Instructions

I recommend enjoying them fresh if you can. They taste amazing right out of the air fryer when they are still hot (let them cool a little though so you don’t burn your mouth!).

If you want to store them and reheat them later, place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

How to Reheat Fried Ravioli in the Air Fryer

You can use your air fryer to reheat as well! Preheat your air fryer to 350F. Add the ravioli to the air fryer in a single layer and air fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired temperature is reached.

How to Serve

Serve them as an appetizer with your favorite dipping sauces.
Serve as a side dish with your favorite Italian recipes for a hearty meal.
Enjoy as a quick snack on their own.

Where Do I Find Fresh Ravioli?

I find it in refrigerated section of the grocery near the cheese and deli.

Can I Use Frozen Ravioli?

Yes, you can use frozen ravioli and you don’t even need to cook it ahead of time or thaw it.

You will need to air fry it for longer since it is frozen (15 to 20 minutes). Make sure you check on it to make sure it’s not burning since all air fryer models are different.

Do I Need to Coat the Air Fryer Basket in Oil?

I don’t. I use an oil sprayer filled with grapeseed oil to spritz the ravioli.

DO NOT use cooking spray. You could damage your air fryer basket. Straight oil is fine, but the cooking sprays have other ingredients in them that make them not air fryer friendly.

Dipping Sauce Ideas
