In a medium bowl, whisk together milk and eggs to create an egg wash.
In a separate shallow dish, combine Italian-style bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Dip each frozen cheese ravioli into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated.
Dredge the ravioli in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Place the coated ravioli on a plate or tray.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure proper temperature.
Fry the breaded ravioli in batches, about 6–8 pieces at a time, for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the cooked ravioli to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining ravioli.
Serve the toasted ravioli warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
