FAQs
Can I use fresh ravioli instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh ravioli works well with this recipe and will crisp up nicely. Just be gentle when coating to avoid tearing.
Do I need to spray the ravioli with oil before air frying?
It’s not necessary if your breadcrumbs contain some Parmesan, but a light mist of cooking spray can enhance browning and crispiness.
