Ravioli in Air Fryer – Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find pre-made ravioli?
You can find store-bought ravioli in the refrigerator section of your grocery store. You can also find frozen ravioli in the grocery store’s freezer section. However, for this recipe, we recommend working with refrigerated ravioli.

Soggy fried ravioli can often be attributed to being overcrowded in the air fryer basket. When the ravioli is overcrowded, hot air cannot circulate and fully cook all the pasta evenly.
