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
- 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 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.
