Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces frozen ravioli
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup marinara sauce (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Thaw the frozen ravioli according to the package instructions, if necessary.
In a bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs to create an egg wash.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the egg wash, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each ravioli into the flour, making sure to coat it evenly, then into the egg wash, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere fully. Set aside on a tray.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, pour the vegetable oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
Fry the breaded ravioli in small batches (4–5 at a time), being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the ravioli from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining ravioli, allowing the oil to return to 350°F between batches.
Arrange the toasted ravioli on a serving plate, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
