Ingredients

  • canola oil (for frying)

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1 1/2 cups of Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup of parmesan, grated

Instructions

  • Whisk 3 eggs and 1/2 cup of milk in a shallow bowl and season with salt and black pepper
  • Combine 1 1/2 cups of Italian breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of grated parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder and a big pinch of salt and black pepper in a separate shallow bowl
  • Add about 2 inches of canola oil into a large skillet and place over medium to medium high heat
  • While the oil is warming, add some marinara into a small covered saucepan and place over medium low heat to warm
  • Once the oil reaches 350 degrees (or some breadcrumbs sizzle when dropped into the oil), begin prepping the ravioliĀ 
  • Working with one ravioli at a time, dip them into the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture
  • Fry the raviolis until golden brown and crispy
  • Transfer freshly fried raviolis onto a paper towel lined plate while you fry the remaining ravioli
  • Once all of the raviolis are fried, sprinkle with grated parmesan and parsley and serve with warm marinara
