Crispy Fried Ravioli

Crispy Fried Ravioli

8 servings
This Fried Ravioli recipe is made with frozen ravioli (meat, cheese, or veggie) that are coated in Italian panko breadcrumbs and fried until perfectly crispy and golden brown.

Ingredients

  • 20 - 25 oz package frozen ravioli

    any variety

  • 2 cups Italian panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Canola oil

    for frying

  • marinara sauce

    warmed, for dipping

  • grated Parmesan cheese

    for garnish

  • minced fresh parsley

    for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Add enough oil to dutch oven (or other large heavy bottomed pot) to be about 2 inches deep, and heat over MED heat to 350°F.  Line a baking sheet with a paper towel, then top with a wire cooling rack.  Set aside, near the stove.

  2. 2

    Make sure thawed raviolis are dry, then add a ravioli to the bowl with the egg wash. Turn to coat all sides.

  3. 3

    When oil is hot and has come to the 350°F temperature, gently add several raviolis (carefully dropping away from you), being careful not to add too many as this will overcrowd the pan and the ravioli won't get as crisp and the oil temperature will drop too much.

  4. 4

    Before serving, warm the marinara sauce and sprinkle raviolis with grated Parmesan and minced parsley if desired.

About this Recipe

Craving that satisfying crunch of restaurant-style fried ravioli? This simple recipe delivers perfectly crispy, golden-brown bites right in your own kitchen, using readily available frozen ravioli. You'll find it’s an effortless way to create an impressive appetizer or a fun, flavorful snack for any occasion. The magic in this Crispy Fried Ravioli lies in its straightforward approach and the textural payoff. By using a double coating process, each piece of thawed ravioli is enveloped in a generous layer of savory Italian panko breadcrumbs. This ensures a wonderfully crisp exterior that perfectly contrasts with the tender, warm filling inside, elevating humble frozen ravioli into something truly special. Prepare for an experience of pure comfort food joy. You'll bite into a delightful crunch, immediately followed by the soft, savory filling of your chosen ravioli variety – whether it's rich cheese, hearty meat, or fresh vegetables. The golden exterior is subtly flavored by the Italian seasoning in the panko, making these fried treats incredibly moreish and hard to resist. This recipe sets realistic expectations for ease, proving that indulgent appetizers don't have to be complicated. Feel free to experiment with your favorite ravioli fillings; this recipe works beautifully with meat, cheese, or vegetable varieties, allowing you to tailor it to your dietary needs or personal preference. Don't have Italian panko? You can create your own by mixing plain panko with dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of finely grated Parmesan cheese to your breadcrumb mixture. Serve your golden-fried ravioli hot with warm marinara sauce for dipping, a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and a flourish of fresh minced parsley. They make an impressive appetizer for casual gatherings or a delightful, easy-to-share snack for family movie night.
