Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Toasted Ravioli:

 

Don't forget about the preheating seat; makes sure that even the crisp-you're getting it right. Use Panko breadcrumbs for an incredibly crunchy bite. Fill each with a different filling: spinach ricotta, beef, or even lobster ravioli for that gourmet twist. Freeze them afterward and reheat them for 4-5 minutes at 180°C (350°F)-they will crisp right back up.
