Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish. In a separate shallow dish, place the seasoned breadcrumbs. I like to use my 9X13 glass baking dishes for this recipe.
Step 2: Coat the ravioli in the egg mixture, then dredge them in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully covered.
Prep-Ahead Air Fryer Appetizers
- If you need to prep-ahead for company, you can prepare the mini ravioli up to this step and then refrigerate them. Cover with plastic wrap until you're ready to start baking them.
- You can also "flash-freeze" them at this point too. Place the baking tray in the freezer for about 20 to 30 minutes. Once the ravioli are frozen, you can remove from the tray and place in freezer-safe containers or plastic bags.
Step 3: The breaded mini ravioli are arranged on a tray. They are now ready for the air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.
Air Fryer Instructions
Step 4: Spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray, then arrange the ravioli in a single layer.
Quick Tip
I like to spritz the breaded ravioli with non-stick cooking spray to help keep them from drying out. Make sure you spritz them again when you flip them!
Step 5: Cook ravioli for 5 minutes, then check for doneness and flip if needed. Total cooking time may vary, but mine took 9 minutes.

Storing and Reheating Tips
Refrigerator: Cool ravioli completely and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezer: To freeze, cool the ravioli completely and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze solid. Then, transfer to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thawing and Reheating: There's no need to thaw the frozen ravioli. Simply place the frozen ravioli in your air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. You may need to add a minute or two to the cooking time since they are frozen.

Air Fryers, simply put, are compact convection ovens. They circulate hot air around a basket that holds your food. It's an easy-to-use counter top appliance that produces crispy food quickly with less fat than a deep fryer.
