Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

If you’re making these ahead of time, you can freeze assembled but uncooked ravioli. When you’re ready, just pop them into the air fryer straight from the freezer—no thawing required!
Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket; this ensures that every ravioli gets evenly crispy and golden.
Leftover ravioli can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to make them crispy again!
