Description

Fried Ravioli is a crispy and cheesy appetizer made by breading and deep-frying ravioli until golden brown, perfect for dipping in marinara sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 package (9 oz) refrigerated or frozen ravioli (cheese or meat-filled)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style or plain)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. If using frozen ravioli, thaw according to package instructions. Cook ravioli for 1-2 minutes in boiling water, then drain and pat dry.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
  4. Dip each ravioli into the egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Fry ravioli in batches for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  7. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. Serve hot with marinara sauce and garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use cheese ravioli for a vegetarian version.
  • Double coating the ravioli makes them extra crunchy.
  • Air fry for a lighter version at 375°F for 8-10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
