Main Ingredients
- 1 package (9–10 oz) refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Nonstick cooking spray or olive oil spray
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (for serving)
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes to ensure it’s ready for cooking.
- Prepare Buttermilk Dip: Pour the buttermilk into a small bowl for dipping the ravioli.
- Mix Breadcrumb Coating: In another bowl, combine the Italian-style breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning thoroughly.
- Coat Ravioli: Dip each ravioli piece into the buttermilk, then coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring full coverage.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated ravioli in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overlapping to allow proper air circulation.
- Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the coated ravioli with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil spray to help crispiness.
- Air Fry: Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the ravioli is golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the ravioli from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the marinara sauce for dipping and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute cheese ravioli with meat or spinach ravioli according to preference.
- To add a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes into the breadcrumb mixture.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk instead of buttermilk and omit Parmesan cheese.
