Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Ravioli (cheese or meat-filled, fresh or thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1.5 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup Marinara sauce (for serving)
Instructions
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the ravioli dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Dredge each ravioli in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded ravioli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a large, deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure consistent oil temperature.
Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, carefully add the breaded ravioli to the hot oil. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ravioli to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
