Main Ingredients Needed
This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.
- Mini ravioli - I used 24 for this recipe. Allow them to sit out on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for about 30 minutes for them to defrost.
- Breadcrumbs - you can use unseasoned or seasoned. I used seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Eggs
Step-by-Step Directions
- Beat the eggs in a flat dish.
- Add the seasoned breadcrumbs to another flat dish.
- I like to use my 9X13 glass baking dishes for this recipe.
- Add the ravioli to the egg mixture and then add them to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Make sure they're covered in the breadcrumbs.
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.
- Here's a tray of breaded mini ravioli ready to go into the air fryer.
Air Fryer Intstructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
- Then add the ravioli in a single layer to the basket of the air fryer that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
- Check them after about 5 minutes of cooking. You may need to flip the ravioli if they're not being cooked evenly.
- Total cooking time for my air fryer and this recipe was 9 minutes. Remember, your air fryer might cook faster or slower, so definitely check after 5 minutes.
Cooking Tip: I like to spritz the breaded ravioli to help keep them from drying out. Make sure you spritz them again when you flip them!
Look how crispy the mini ravioli are. Don't they look good?
