Description

Crispy, golden-brown fried ravioli make a delicious appetizer or snack, perfect for dipping in marinara sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 package (20 oz) refrigerated cheese ravioli
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Place ravioli in a bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let soak for 15–20 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Remove ravioli from buttermilk, letting excess drip off, then coat in breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Fry ravioli in batches for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  6. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve hot with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle fried ravioli with chopped parsley or more Parmesan before serving.
  • Make sure oil is hot enough to ensure crispiness and avoid soggy results.
  • Frozen ravioli can be used; just thaw before starting.
