Ingredients
  

1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheese ravioli

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

Vegetable oil (for frying)

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ravioli: Fill a pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring it to a rolling boil. Carefully add the cheese ravioli and cook according to the package instructions until they are al dente, usually about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, drain the ravioli in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes. Pat the ravioli dry with a paper towel to eliminate any excess moisture, ensuring a crispy texture once fried.

    Set Up Breading Station: Create a systematic breading station using three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add 1 cup of flour. In the second bowl, crack the two large eggs and whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. In the third bowl, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to distribute the spices evenly.

      Bread the Ravioli: Take each cooled ravioli and follow the breading process: first, coat it lightly in flour, shaking off any excess to ensure an even layer. Next, dip the floured ravioli into the beaten eggs, letting any excess egg drip back into the bowl. Finally, roll the ravioli in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure that they are fully covered. Place the breaded ravioli on a sheet tray or plate, ready for frying.

        Heat the Oil: In a large, deep skillet or pot, pour in vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a frying temperature of around 350°F (175°C). To check if the oil is hot enough, carefully drop a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle and bubble upon contact.

          Fry the Ravioli: Carefully add the breaded ravioli to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot to maintain the oil’s temperature. Fry the ravioli for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown, crispy outer layer. Use a slotted spoon to retrieve the fried ravioli, transferring them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

            Serve and Enjoy: Once all the ravioli are fried to perfection, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot bites, allowing the cheese to melt slightly. Serve the crunchy ravioli warm, accompanied by a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping, and enjoy this deliciously crispy treat!
