Have you ever tried toasted ravioli? It’s a really fun snack or appetizer that is usually deep-fried, but you can use your air fryer to make it, which means way less oil is needed.
I’ve tried oven-baked versions, but I think the best way to make crispy toasted ravioli is in your air fryer! This is a great appetizer that is easy to make with less oil – but it’s still incredibly crispy.
Individually breaded cheese ravioli are cooked until crispy and served with marinara sauce for dipping. It’s a great appetizer for parties and game-days.

How to Bread Ravioli
Whisk eggs in a shallow dish. In a separate dish, mix the breadcrumbs, cheese, and seasonings.
Dip each ravioli in the egg until evenly coated and then dip them in the breadcrumb mixture.
Once breaded place them on a plate in an even layer while you finish the rest.
How to Cook Them in an Air Fryer
Set the air fryer to 400°F.
Once it’s preheated, place the breaded ravioli inside in an even layer. Spray them with cooking spray. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you will need to cook them in batches.
Cook them for four to five minutes or until they are crispy. Transfer them to a serving plate and tent them with foil to keep them warm. Repeat this process with the rest until you’ve cooked them all.
Garnishes
I like to garnish them with a little more Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, but this is optional.
I don’t recommend skipping the dip! Warm marinara sauce is the perfect sauce to go with them. Or try homemade pesto for dipping, too.
