Crispy Fried Ravioli with Marinara Dip

Golden, crunchy fried ravioli sprinkled with parmesan and herbs—perfectly dippable in warm, rich marinara sauce for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated or frozen cheese ravioli (about 9 oz)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Cook ravioli according to package instructions, just until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Set up a dredging station: place flour in one bowl, eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper in a third.
  3. Dredge each ravioli in flour, dip in egg, then coat in breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry ravioli in batches until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  5. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and parsley.
  6. Serve hot with a side of warm marinara sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure ravioli are well-drained and slightly cool before breading to help coating stick.
  • Use fresh or frozen ravioli; if frozen, thaw before cooking.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and crunch.
