Ingredients for Toasted Ravioli
- 1 package frozen ravioli (cheese, meat, or your preferred filling)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko breadcrumbs work best for extra crispiness)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg (beaten)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil (for spraying)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the ravioli from sticking.
- Dredge the Ravioli: In one bowl, place the beaten egg. In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Dip each frozen ravioli into the egg wash, making sure it’s fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure that both sides are well-coated with the crumbs.
- Arrange the Ravioli: Place the breaded ravioli onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops of the ravioli with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
- Bake the Ravioli: Bake the ravioli for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the ravioli are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, or try them with a tangy homemade Sweet Chili Sauce for a different twist!
Notes
- Don’t crowd the ravioli: Ensure there’s enough space on the baking sheet so that the ravioli can bake evenly and become crispy on all sides.
- Use frozen ravioli: This makes the recipe faster and more convenient, but if you’re feeling adventurous, try using homemade ravioli for a gourmet touch.
- Flip halfway: Flip the ravioli halfway through baking to get both sides evenly crisped up.
- Spray, don’t soak: Lightly spray the ravioli with olive oil rather than soaking them, as this will allow the breadcrumbs to stay crispy without being soggy.
