• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs

DIRECTIONS

• Step No.1: Make the cheese filling
  In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until smooth and well combined.

• Step No.2: Stuff the ravioli
  Gently separate each cheese ravioli and open slightly. Spoon a little of the cheese mixture inside, then press to seal the edges.

• Step No.3: Prepare the coating station
  Crack the egg into one bowl and beat it. Add breadcrumbs to another bowl. Dip each ravioli in the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

• Step No.5: Air fry until golden
  Place the coated ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with oil. Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway.

• Step No.6: Serve warm with dip
  Remove the crispy ravioli bites from the air fryer and serve immediately with marinara sauce or any dip of your choice.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Don’t Overfill Ravioli: Use a small amount of filling so the edges seal well and the cheese doesn’t leak during cooking.

• Seal the Edges Firmly: Press the edges with fingers or a fork to make sure the filling stays inside during air frying.

• Use Room Temperature Filling: Softened cheese is easier to mix, spread, and stuff inside ravioli without tearing the pasta.

• Preheat the Air Fryer: A hot fryer ensures even crispiness and prevents the ravioli from becoming soggy or unevenly cooked.

• Flip for Even Cooking: Turn the ravioli halfway through to get a beautiful golden crust on both sides of each piece.

• Avoid Overcrowding: Arrange ravioli in a single layer with space in between for proper air circulation and even browning.

• Serve Immediately: They’re best enjoyed hot and crispy. If they sit too long, the coating may lose its crunch.

VARIATIONS

• Try Meat-Filled Ravioli: Swap cheese ravioli for beef or sausage varieties to add a savoury, meaty twist to the bites.

• Add Spicy Cheese: Mix in pepper jack or add crushed red pepper flakes to the filling for a subtle, spicy kick.

• Use gluten-free diet Options: Use gluten-free ravioli and breadcrumbs to make this recipe suitable for gluten-intolerant guests.

• Bake Instead of Air Fry: You can bake in the oven at 400°F for 12–15 minutes if an air fryer isn’t available.

• Switch Dips: Serve with garlic butter, ranch, Alfredo, or pesto instead of marinara to match different flavour profiles.
