1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 package (9 ounces) frozen beef ravioli, thawed
Cooking spray
Fresh minced basil, optional
1 cup marinara sauce, warmed
1. Preheat air fryer to 350°. In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and basil. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Dip ravioli in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in eggs, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
2. In batches, arrange ravioli in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes longer. If desired, immediately sprinkle with basil and additional Parmesan cheese. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
While visiting a friend in St. Louis, Missouri, I tried fried ravioli at almost every restaurant we visited. When I got home, I had to try to replicate them, and I think this air-fryer ravioli recipe comes pretty close.
