Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like this recipe because it uses basic ingredients and takes very little time from start to finish. I don’t need to deep-fry anything, and the air fryer gives the ravioli a perfectly crisp texture. I also enjoy how flexible it is, since I can season it differently or pair it with various dipping sauces depending on my mood.

Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

12–15 frozen or fresh cheese ravioli
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: dried Italian seasoning or parsley for garnish

Directions

I start by preheating my air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes. While it heats, I place the ravioli in a bowl and drizzle them with olive oil or melted butter. I sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the ravioli, then gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

I arrange the ravioli in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap too much. I air fry them for about 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through so both sides get crispy. Once they’re golden and slightly puffed, I remove them and immediately sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. I let them rest for a minute before serving.

Servings And Timing

I usually get about 2 to 3 servings from this recipe, depending on how many ravioli I use and how hungry everyone is.
Preparation time is around 5 minutes, and cooking time is about 8 minutes, so everything is ready in roughly 15 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes use meat-filled ravioli instead of cheese for a heartier bite. When I want extra crunch, I lightly coat the ravioli with breadcrumbs before air frying. I also like adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for a little heat. For dipping, I often serve them with marinara sauce, ranch, or garlic aioli.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, I put them back in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2 to 3 minutes until they’re warmed through and crispy again. I avoid microwaving because they lose their crunch.

FAQs

Can I use frozen ravioli without thawing?

I use frozen ravioli straight from the freezer, and they cook perfectly in the air fryer with no thawing needed.

What kind of ravioli works best?

I usually choose cheese ravioli, but meat or spinach-filled ravioli work just as well in this recipe.

How do I keep the ravioli from sticking?

I make sure they’re lightly coated with oil or butter and that the air fryer basket is clean before adding them.

Can I make these ahead of time?

I prefer them fresh, but I can cook them ahead and reheat in the air fryer just before serving.

Do I need to flip the ravioli?

I flip them halfway through cooking to make sure both sides get evenly crispy.

Conclusion

I enjoy making Air Fryer Million Dollar Ravioli Bites because they’re fast, comforting, and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether I serve them as a snack, appetizer, or quick meal, they never disappoint and always disappear quickly.
