Packaged ravioli is coated in breadcrumbs and seasonings, then fried until golden brown for a delicious appetizer that your guests will be begging for. Serve this Fried Ravioli recipe with some homemade Marinara or Ranch dressing for a perfectly crispy, totally craveable snack.
Heat about 1 ½ inches of oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. You’ll know it’s ready when the oil is shimmering.
Set up a dredging station for the ravioli with three shallow pans or bowls: one with flour, one with the eggs whisked with milk, and one with the breadcrumbs mixed with italian seasoning.
Coat ravioli in the flour, then the eggs mixture, then toss with the breadcrumbs to coat.
Fry in the hot oil until golden on both sides; about 3 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle with grated parmesan and fresh minced Italian parsley. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
