Ingredients
  

1 package (12 oz) of refrigerated or frozen mini ravioli (choose cheese or meat-filled)

1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking oil (for frying)

Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ravioli: If using frozen ravioli, follow the package instructions to cook them until al dente. Once cooked, drain them and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. If using refrigerated fresh ravioli, ensure they are separated and ready for breading.

    Set Up Your Breading Station: Gather three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, pour in the beaten eggs. In the third dish, combine the Italian seasoned breadcrumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

      Bread the Ravioli: Take each ravioli and coat it evenly in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any extra to drip back into the dish. Finally, transfer the ravioli to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Place the breaded ravioli on a baking sheet or plate.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or deep fryer, pour in enough cooking oil to reach about ½ inch depth. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

          Fry the Ravioli: Carefully add a few breaded ravioli to the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a rich golden brown and become crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried ravioli and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

            Serve: Arrange the delicious toasted ravioli bites on a vibrant serving platter. Serve them warm with a small bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delightful crispy appetizers!
