INGREDIENTS:

• One cup of cooked bread crumbs
• One-fourth cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
• Two teaspoons of dried basil
• Half a cup of all-purpose flour
• Two large eggs, slightly beaten
• One box (Nine ounces) of frozen beef ravioli, thawed
• Baking spray
• Fresh minced basil (optional)
• One cup of hot marinara sauce

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preparing Air-Fried Parmesan Crusted Ravioli:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (176°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.
2. Create the Crust Mixture: In a small dish, combine the cooked bread crumbs, shredded Parmesan cheese, and dried basil. Mix them thoroughly to create a flavorful crust mixture.
3. Set Up Your Coating Station: In two separate shallow cups, place the slightly beaten eggs in one and the all-purpose flour in the other. Begin the coating process by dipping each beef ravioli in the flour, ensuring that both sides are coated. Shake off any excess flour.
4. Coat with Crust Mixture: After coating with flour, dip each ravioli into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Next, transfer the ravioli to the prepared crust mixture, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere to the coating.
5. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the coated ravioli in a single layer inside a greased air fryer basket.
6. Air Fry to Perfection: Lightly spritz the ravioli with baking spray to aid in achieving a golden-brown and crispy texture. Cook the ravioli in the air fryer for approximately 3-4 minutes or until they are beautifully golden brown. Flip the ravioli, spritz with baking spray once more, and continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are uniformly golden brown and irresistibly crispy.
7. Serve with Marinara Sauce: As soon as the Parmesan-crusted ravioli are cooked to perfection, serve them hot with a side of hot marinara sauce for dipping.

TIPS:

• Experiment with different herbs and seasonings to customize the flavor of your crust mixture. Consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Serve the crispy ravioli immediately after cooking to enjoy them at their crunchiest.
• To make the presentation extra appealing, garnish with fresh minced basil and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
• Don’t have an air fryer? You can still prepare this dish in an electric skillet, on the stovetop, or in a deep fryer using similar cooking times and techniques.
