: 2-3 people
-
1 package (20-25) of your favorite refrigerated or frozen ravioli (cheese, meat, or spinach – you choose!)
-
1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
1/4 cup milk
-
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
-
Your favorite marinara sauce, for dipping
-
: In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix well. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
-
: Dip each ravioli into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated. Then, dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere.
-
: Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the ravioli in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd it. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
-
: Remove the fried ravioli from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
While marinara sauce is a classic pairing, don’t be afraid to get creative with your dipping sauces! Here are a few ideas:
-
: Adds a fresh, herby flavor.
-
: For an extra creamy indulgence.
-
: If you like a little heat.
-
: A surprisingly delicious option!
-
: Experiment with different types of ravioli. Mushroom, lobster, or even butternut squash ravioli would be amazing!
-
: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a little kick.
-
: For a healthier alternative, you can air fry the ravioli. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
-
: Mix some shredded mozzarella cheese into the breadcrumb mixture for an extra cheesy crust.

Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw them slightly before breading.

Fried ravioli is best served immediately. If you need to prep ahead, you can bread the ravioli and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours before frying.
-
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer for the best results.
-
Make sure the ravioli is well-coated in the egg mixture before dredging in the breadcrumbs. You can also gently press the breadcrumbs onto the ravioli to help them adhere.
