Get ready to enjoy these crispy, savory, and gorgeous gluten-free toasted ravioli made at home with a few simple ingredients (including store-bought ravioli) and cooked to perfection inside the air fryer.
1/2cupparmesan cheeseshredded or grated (for sprinkling on top)
1tbspfresh parsleychopped (for sprinkling on top - optional)
1cupmarinara saucejarred (for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 350º F for 2 minutes.
In one bowl, add the egg combined with 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk the egg wash mixture with a fork.
In a second bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs and garlic powder.
Once the air fryer is preheated, dip each individual ravioli into the egg wash mixture, then dip each ravioli into the breadcrumbs until fully coated on both sides. Add each ravioli to your air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook the ravioli in batches. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
Lightly spray the breaded ravioli with avocado oil cooking spray (or another cooking spray), then place the basket into the air fryer.
Set the air fryer to cook at 350º F for 7-9 minutes. Check the toasted ravioli after 7 minutes for doneness. The ravioli will be lightly toasted and browned, and they will slightly puff up with air.
Place the toasted ravioli on a serving tray and sprinkle the tops with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional). Serve immediately with jarred marina sauce. Pro tip: Warm the marinara sauce in your microwave for 20 seconds.
Notes
Nutrition information is not included because it will depend on the store-bought ravioli used and how many you made.I used Trader Joe's gluten-free ravioli. If you can't find store-bought gluten-free ravioli near you, you could make your own using my gluten-free pumpkin ravioli recipe.I used Aleia's Italian gluten-free breadcrumbs, but you could use any gluten-free breadcrumbs of choice or make your own.I recommend frying the ravioli in the air fryer for the best results. You can, however, make them on your stovetop or in your oven.Stovetop: Heat a little oil in a pan, then fry the breaded ravioli for a minute or two on each side. The ravioli will be a bit soggy and not as crispy and puffy as they turn out in the air fryer.Oven: Cook the ravioli in your oven at 425º F for 15-20 minutes. Spray the tops with oil before cooking. Use the convection setting if you have it.If using frozen ravioli, defrost it first before dipping it in the egg and breadcrumb mixture. DO NOT pre-cook the ravioli in boiling water.I recommend serving the toasted ravioli immediately, as they will be the most crispy and puffy straight from the air fryer. They will still be good for 30-45 minutes after toasting them, however, a little zap in the air fryer before serving them will bring them back to life.Store leftover toasted ravioli in a sealed container in your fridge for up to two days. Reheat the ravioli in your air fryer or microwave for about one minute before enjoying them.
