Description
Air Fryer Million Dollar Ravioli Bites are crispy, golden-brown ravioli with a cheesy, creamy center. They’re perfect as an appetizer, snack, or party treat. Using an air fryer makes them lighter than traditional fried ravioli, without sacrificing crunch or flavor.

Scale
- 1 package (9 oz) frozen cheese ravioli

Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

- Place flour in a third bowl.
- Coat the Ravioli:
- Dip each frozen ravioli into the flour, shaking off excess.
- Then, dip into the beaten eggs.
- Finally, coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Air Fry the Ravioli:
- Arrange the coated ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
- Lightly spray the ravioli with olive oil to enhance crispiness.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

- Remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can use any type of frozen ravioli, but cheese ravioli is a classic choice.
- Ensure the ravioli are fully coated for maximum crunch.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow even cooking.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
