We love making air fryer toasted ravioli because it is easy to make and delicious to eat. I oftentimes make air fryer toasted ravioli as a quick after school snack or easy weeknight dinner.

My kids couldn’t get enough of this toasted deliciousness! These air fryer shamrock toasted raviolis would make the perfect appetizer for your St. Patty’s Day party. Festive fun and soo yummy!

  • natural green food coloring
  • parmesan cheese

How to make air fryer shamrock toasted ravioli lunchbox

  1. Make green bread crumbs; place 1 cup panko or homemade breadcrumbs in a blender along with a few drops of green food coloring. Pulse into color is mixed through.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook ravioli for 3 minutes; drain and remove onto a plate.
  3. Set aside two dishes; in one dish combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. In the other dish mix egg and 1 tsp water.
  4. Dip ravioli into the breadcrumbs mixture then into the egg and then back into the breadcrumbs. Place on air fryer basket and lightly spray with avocado oil.

  6. Serve with fresh fruit and preferred sweet treat for complete lunchbox, optional.

Why prep lunches for school?

To make meal planning more consistent and practical in my house, I aim to include four school lunch preps for my two kids in our weekly meal prep rotation. This helps us save money and ensure that two days of the week, the kids have well balanced meals that happen to be fun and festive, yet simple enough to put together in less than 15 minutes. 

In these lunch preps I try to include a variety of colors as well as a good balance of the essential food groups so that my kids are getting exposure to different foods in a fun and exciting way!

We sure hope you enjoy this fun and festive lunch as much as our little tribe has time and time again. Please leave us a star review and comment if you make this air fryer shamrock toasted ravioli lunch!
