Ingredients
Scale
1 pack of ravioli (any filling you like)
3 eggs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp Italian parsley, finely chopped
Vegetable oil (for frying)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
Set Up the Breading Station:
Crack the eggs into a shallow bowl and whisk thoroughly.
In another shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and chopped parsley.
Bread the Ravioli:
Dip each ravioli into the whisked eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Then, dip the egg-coated ravioli into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well. Repeat for all ravioli.
Heat the Oil:
In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F. To check if the oil is ready, sprinkle a pinch of flour into the oil; it should sizzle.
Fry the Ravioli:
Fry the ravioli in batches of 3-4 at a time. Fry each side for 1-2 minutes, or until the ravioli are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried ravioli with a slotted spoon or spider strainer and place them on a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
Serve:
Plate the fried ravioli and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
You can use any ravioli filling you prefer, such as cheese, meat, or spinach.
If you want to make the dish extra flavorful, sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top after frying.
For an extra crispy coating, dip the ravioli in the egg and breadcrumbs a second time before frying.
