How to Serve Fried Ravioli
Fried Ravioli is super versatile! Serve them as a starter at your next get-together, or toss them on your dinner table as a side dish. Put a plate of them in the middle and watch as everyone fights to get the last one. 🤣 You can set out various sauces for dipping, like ranch or pesto, to keep things interesting.
How to Store Fried Ravioli
If you somehow have leftovers (which is rare, but hey, it happens), store them in an airtight container. Pop them in the fridge, and they should last for about 2-3 days. But let’s be real, they’re usually gone the same night! If you want to keep that crunch, reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to get them crispy again.
Tips to Make Fried Ravioli
- Cook in batches: Don’t overcrowd your air fryer, or you’ll end up with soggy ravioli. No one wants that!
- Get creative with seasonings in your breadcrumb mix – maybe throw in some garlic powder or Italian herbs for an extra flavor hit.
- If you want a healthier option, try baking them in the oven instead of frying. Just keep an eye on them, so they don’t burn!
Variation
You can totally switch things up! Try using different types of ravioli—spinach and ricotta, lobster, or even butternut squash. You can also switch the breadcrumbs for panko for an even crunchier bite. Mix and match, and find your fave combo!
