Olive Garden Toasted Ravioli
If you have ever been to Olive Garden, you probably know about these fantastic appetizers they serve.
They are characterized on the menu as being fried Ravioli filled with seasoned beef. Of course, you could use other flavors, but I stuck with the beef ravioli today since we are doing a copycat version.
And our course, we are using our Air Fryer.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Olive Garden Toasted Ravioli
- Panko Breadcrumbs
- Italian Seasoning
- Garlic Powder
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Eggs
- Water
- Refrigerated Ravioli
- All-Purpose Flour
- Optional: Dipping Sauce
How To Make Air Fryer Olive Garden Toasted Ravioli
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Combine breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning and garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a medium shallow bowl. In a small bowl, whisk eggs with water to combine.
Dip each Ravioli first in flour to coat thoroughly, then shake the excess flour off. Next, dip the flour-coated Ravioli in beaten egg mixture, then shake extra egg off. Finally, thoroughly coat Ravioli in seasoned breadcrumbs and place it on the prepared sheet. Repeat process for all the Ravioli.
Preheat air fryer to 375°F, air fryer setting, and spray basket with cooking spray. Put coated Ravioli into the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray generously with cooking spray.
Cook Ravioli for 8-10 mins, until golden and crispy. Serve warm with marinara sauce or another favorite dip, garnished with chopped parsley, grated parmesan cheese, etc. (optional)
SOME PRO TIPS:
Italian seasoning could be substituted by your favorite dried herbs (or mix) such as oregano, Greek seasoning, Herbs de Provence, etc.
Add cayenne powder or red pepper flakes to the breadcrumbs, Greek seasoning, etc.
If your air fryer is smaller, you will have to cook in batches. Do not overcrowd the air fryer, or the Ravioli will not crisp up.
Spraying with cooking spray helps to crisp up Ravioli and gives it a nice golden color.
Keeps fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for four days and freezer for up to 3 months.
HOW TO REHEAT AIR FRYER RAVIOLI FROM REFRIGERATED
Start by preheating your air fryer to 380 degrees F, air fryer setting. Then air fry for about 3 to 4 minutes, until heated through.
There is nothing better than reheating Ravioli, and it stays crispy. With a few sprays of cooking spray, your leftover ravioli will come back to life.
HOW TO HEAT FROZEN TOASTED RAVIOLI IN THE AIR FRYER
If you have a package of frozen Ravioli and want to make it in the air fryer, preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until heated through.
These directions will work for any store-bought ravioli, including Trader Joe’s, Costco, or even Louisa Toasted Ravioli. This will make for a quick and tasty ravioli with a lot of flavor and crispness.
WHAT IF MY BREADED RAVIOLI LOOKS DRY?
An air fryer will crisp up your food, just like a deep-fryer, but without the added oil.
If you find that your Ravioli looks dry, all you need to do is spray it with cooking spray or olive oil, and it will perk right up.
I highly recommend that you purchase an EVO Oil Spayer, which is my favorite oil spray, and it really will save you some money in the long run. As if you are using PAM or any aerosol mist, it will eventually ruin your coating.
CAN I FREEZE AIR FRYER RAVIOLI?
This is one of the easiest recipes to make ahead for later.
To Freeze: Make as directed below in the recipe card, then let the Ravioli cool to room temperature. Place them on a sprayed (with cooking spray) baking sheet. Then, place the cooked (but cooled) Ravioli on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into the freezer until the frozen Ravioli are frozen solid.
Transfer the frozen Ravioli to a freezer bag or a freezer-safe container.
To Reheat From Frozen: Place the frozen Ravioli into the air fryer basket, cook for about 9 to 12 minutes, at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting.
Flip halfway during the cooking process. Remove when fully heated.
WHAT TYPE OF AIR FRYER SHOULD I USE TO MAKE MY AIR FRYER TOASTED RAVIOLI?

- Philips Kitchen Appliances HD9220/28 Viva Airfryer (1.8lb/2.75qt), Black Fryer

Remove when the Ravioli is fully cooked.
