Key Ingredients
- Ravioli: I used frozen store-bought ravioli just to keep things easy, but you can use any ravioli you like. Tortellini would also work!
- Dry Batter: I made the dry batter for this toasted ravioli using, Italian bread crumbs, freshly chopped parsley, freshly chopped oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Change up the herbs and seasonings as you like!
- Wet Batter: All you need to make the wet batter for this toasted ravioli recipe is a couple eggs and some milk!
How To Make It
- Combine your milk and eggs in a shallow bowl. Next add your breadcrumbs, parsley, oregano, garlic powder and onion powder to another shallow bowl.
- Dip raviolis into the egg mixture then into the breadcrumb mixture making sure to coat both sides.
- Place the breaded ravioli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile fill a large pot with at least 2 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
- Remove ravioli from the freezer. Working in small batches cook the raviolis for 3-4 minutes.
- Place the raviolis on a plate lined with paper towels and season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, parsley and your favorite dipping sauce!
Storage Instructions
You can store leftover toasted ravioli in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven until heated through and crispy.
You can also freeze them, but I find they taste better made and fried fresh. So I just buy frozen ravioli to speed up the cooking process and make it so I can prepare them any time!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make toasted ravioli in the air fryer?
To lighten up this recipe, you can cook the raviolis in the air fryer. Follow the same steps as above but cook in the air fryer for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees. I prefer to use refrigerated raviolis in this recipe. However fresh or frozen raviolis can be used. If using frozen you can thaw overnight or if your in a pinch frozen unthawed raviolis can be used. I would just give them 2-3 more minutes extra in the air fryer!
What should I serve with toasted ravioli?
Top the Toasted Ravioli’s with grated parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley. I love serving warm marinara with the raviolis. Ranch dressing would also be amazing!
Should I use fresh or frozen raviolis?
I have used both fresh refrigerated raviolis as well as frozen raviolis. It’s very difficult to tell the difference between the two. I would go with what you can find in the supermarket or what you have on hand!
