Description
Toasted ravioli delivers crunchy, golden bites with gooey cheese inside, making it a satisfying snack or impressive appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (1 lb) package frozen or fresh filled ravioli (cheese or meat)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, seasoned with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper
- 3 large eggs, beaten with 2 tbsp water
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Neutral oil for frying (canola, peanut) – or cooking spray for baking/air-frying
Instructions
- Thaw frozen ravioli just enough that edges are pliable but not soggy. Pat dry.
- Set up a dredge station: seasoned flour, beaten eggs, seasoned panko-Parmesan mix.
- Coat each ravioli in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so crumbs adhere.
- For frying: heat oil in a heavy pot to 350°F. Fry 4–6 ravioli at a time for 2–3 minutes until deep golden, drain on a rack.
- For oven: place on a parchment-lined sheet, spritz with oil, and bake at 425°F for 12–15 minutes, turning once.
- For air fryer: arrange in a single layer and cook at 400°F for 6–8 minutes, shaking halfway.
- Serve hot with marinara for dipping and grated Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Excess moisture prevents crumbs from sticking. Pat ravioli dry before breading.
