Print Recipe

Golden-fried cheese ravioli with a crispy breadcrumb coating, served with marinara sauce—an ideal appetizer or snack for parties and comfort food lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 pieces cheese ravioli (fresh or thawed frozen)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (or 1 egg + 2 tbsp milk)
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs (or panko)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Olive or vegetable oil (for deep frying)
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs or egg-milk mixture, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional Italian seasoning.
  2. Dip each ravioli in flour (shake off excess), then egg, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat well.
  3. Optional: Freeze breaded ravioli for 30 minutes to help crumbs stick and prevent bursting.
  4. For deep frying: Heat 2–3 inches of oil to 350°F. Fry ravioli in batches for 2–4 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  5. For air frying: Lightly spray ravioli with cooking spray. Air fry at 350–375°F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  6. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley, and serve hot with marinara dip.
