1. Can I make Air Fryer Million Dollar Ravioli Bites ahead of time?

Yes! You can bread the ravioli and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer to a zip-top bag. When ready to cook, pop them straight into the air fryer from frozen — no thawing needed. Just add 1–2 minutes to the cook time.

2. What type of ravioli works best for this recipe?

Frozen cheese ravioli are ideal for Air Fryer Million Dollar Ravioli Bites , but you can also use meat or spinach varieties. Avoid fresh or refrigerated ravioli unless you freeze them first, as they may fall apart during cooking.

3. How do I prevent the breading from falling off in the air fryer?

To ensure your coating sticks, make sure to pat the ravioli dry if there's excess moisture. Also, press the breadcrumb coating firmly onto each piece and let them rest for 5–10 minutes before air frying to help the coating set.

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Place the flour in a third shallow bowl.
Take each frozen ravioli and coat it first in the flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Press coating on firmly.
Arrange the coated ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the air fryer and let cool for 1 minute.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with marinara sauce.

Notes

Use frozen ravioli without thawing for best texture.
Double coat the ravioli for an extra crunchy bite.
To keep batches warm, place cooked ravioli in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
Can be frozen after coating for later use — just extend air frying time by 1–2 minutes.
