🛒 Ingredients

• 1 package (approx. 250g) refrigerated fresh cheese ravioli 🥟

• 2 large eggs 🥚

• 2 tablespoons milk or water 💧

• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs (for maximum crunch) 🍞

• 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (finely grated) 🧀

• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning 🌿

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder & onion powder 🧄

• Cooking oil spray (olive or avocado oil) 🛢️

• 1 cup warm marinara sauce (for dipping) 🍅

👩‍🍳 Detailed Instructions

1. Prepare the Breading Station: 🥣 Set up two shallow bowls. In the first bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs and milk. In the second bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder until uniformly mixed.

2. The Double Dip: 🥟 Take the fresh, uncooked ravioli straight from the package. Submerge each pasta square fully into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then press it firmly into the seasoned Panko mixture. Ensure the edges and corners are completely insulated with the crunchy coating.

3. Arrange for Airflow: 💨 Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Place the breaded ravioli in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Leave a small gap between each piece so the superheated air can circulate perfectly around the pasta. Spray them generously with cooking oil spray.

4. Air Fry to a Golden Crunch: 🔥 Air fry for 8–10 minutes, pausing halfway through to gently flip the ravioli and apply another light spray of oil. Cook until the pasta puffs up slightly and the outer shell becomes rigid, blistered, and deep golden-brown.

5. Serve and Dip: 🍽️ Remove the crispy ravioli bites immediately. Arrange them on a serving platter alongside a bowl of steaming hot, fragrant marinara sauce. Serve instantly while the cheese inside is still molten!
