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