Instructions:
1. Prepare the Breading Station
Start by setting up your breading station. In one shallow bowl, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs together. And in a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
2. Bread the Ravioli
Take each ravioli, first dipping it in the flour to coat, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated for that perfect crunch. Repeat until all ravioli are breaded.
3. Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom, about 1/4 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers, which usually takes about 5 minutes. You can test the heat by dropping a small piece of bread into the oil; if it sizzles, you’re ready to fry!
4. Fry the Ravioli
Carefully place the breaded ravioli in the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2–3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried ravioli to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Once all the ravioli are fried, serve them hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. These Easy Fried Ravioli are best enjoyed fresh, so gather your friends and dig in!
