Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 oz cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Alternatively, use onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • to taste salt and pepper Adjust according to preference
  • as needed vegetable oil for frying
  • as needed marinara sauce for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the ravioli according to package directions, then drain and let cool.
  2. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each ravioli first in flour, then in eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs.
Frying
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Fry the ravioli in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  4. Serve with marinara sauce.

Notes

Fried Ravioli shines brightest when served immediately after frying. For added flavor, season the breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results. Uncooked, breaded ravioli can be frozen for later frying.
