How to cook frozen toasted ravioli in the air fryer
To lighten up this recipe you can cook the ravioli in the air fryer. Follow the same steps as above but cook in the air fryer for 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees. I prefer to use refrigerated ravioli in this recipe. However fresh or frozen ravioli can be used. If using frozen you can thaw overnight or if you’re in a pinch frozen unthawed ravioli can be used. I would just give them 2-3 more minutes extra in the air fryer!

Top the Toasted Ravioli’s with grated parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley. I love serving warm marinara with ravioli. Ranch dressing would also be amazing!
Can I use fresh or frozen ravioli?
I have used both fresh refrigerated ravioli as well as frozen ravioli. It’s very difficult to tell the difference between the two. I would go with what you can find in the supermarket or what you have on hand!
