- 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
- Cook ravioli according to package instructions, just until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
- 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.
- Dredge each ravioli in flour, dip in egg, then coat in breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry ravioli in batches until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and parsley.
- 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.
