A quick and easy snack featuring crispy fried cheese ravioli paired with a tangy marinara dip, perfect for parties and casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 20 frozen cheese ravioli (roughly 9 oz / 255 g)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable oil (can substitute with canola or peanut oil)
  • ½ cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup (240 ml) marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Take about 20 frozen cheese ravioli straight from the freezer—no thawing needed.
  2. In one bowl, beat 2 large eggs until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine ½ cup (65 g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Pour 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable oil into a deep fryer or heavy pan and heat to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Lightly dust a few ravioli with flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, followed by another quick dust in the flour mixture.
  6. Carefully place the coated ravioli into the hot oil—do not overcrowd.
  7. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning once for even cooking.
  8. Use a slotted spoon to remove ravioli and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. While frying, gently heat marinara sauce until warm but not boiling.
  10. Serve fried ravioli hot with a small bowl of marinara for dipping.

Notes

Keep ravioli frozen until frying to prevent bursting. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for best results. Fry in small batches to avoid oil temperature drop. Drain on paper towels immediately to keep crispiness. For a lighter version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
