Ingredients
- 20 pieces Frozen cheese or meat ravioli
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, combine flour, salt, and garlic powder. In the second bowl, whisk together eggs and buttermilk. In the third bowl, mix breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 2
Spread the ravioli out on a plate and allow them to partially thaw for 5-10 minutes, which will help the coating adhere better.
Step 3
Dredge each ravioli in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it generously in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Place breaded ravioli on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep saucepan over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to get an accurate temperature for frying.
Step 5
Carefully add the breaded ravioli to the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 6
Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked ravioli and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave until heated through.
Step 8
Serve the toasted ravioli on a platter with a bowl of marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or chopped parsley if desired.
