Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, and it is delicious! That being said, ravioli in the air fryer is closer to a snack or an appetizer. When you boil it and toss it with sauce, it works better as a main dish.
Each air fryer will be slightly different, but it takes my Cosori 5.8 quart model ~8 minutes at 390F to air fry ravioli.
-For frozen ravioli add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.
-For mini ravioli, subtract 1-2 minutes from the cooking time.
You do not need to cook the ravioli before air frying. If you use frozen it will cook in the fryer but I do find the corners can get a bit tough.
If you do choose to precook the ravioli, cook it according to package directions. I like to then place it on a clean kitchen towel for 5 minutes to remove any excess water.
Yes! Cook at 390F degrees for 3 minutes. I do find a quick spritz of olive oil spray from the Misto before reheating does make it crispier.
What Goes With Fried Ravioli?
All the dipping sauces! We dipped ours in the best homemade pizza sauce, but Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce or Cherry Tomato Sauce would be great too. And if you love something with some kick, I highly recommend our Chipotle Sauce.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can mix 2 eggs with 2 tbsp of water.
- This recipe is written so that you don’t have much breading left over. If you prefer a heavier coating of breading, increase the panko, breadcrumbs, and Italian seasoning.
- After spraying the olive oil on the breading, allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes. This will allow the panko to soak up the oil, creating the crunchiest coating.
