Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package store-bought ravioli (about 20-24 pieces)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
- Your favorite jarred marinara sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare the breading station: In one bowl, lightly beat 2 eggs. In another bowl, place 2 cups of seasoned breadcrumbs. This setup will allow for easy dredging of the ravioli.
- Bread the ravioli: Dip each piece of store-bought ravioli first into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well coated. Then dredge them in the seasoned breadcrumbs until completely covered.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the breaded ravioli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even crisping.
- Bake until crispy: Bake the ravioli in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the breadcrumbs are crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot with your favorite jarred marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Using seasoned breadcrumbs adds extra flavor, but plain breadcrumbs with added Italian seasoning can be used as an alternative.
- Ensure ravioli are fully sealed to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
- You can use fresh or frozen store-bought ravioli; just make sure to thaw frozen ravioli before breading.
- For extra crispiness, you can spray the breaded ravioli lightly with cooking oil spray before baking.
- These toasted ravioli make a great appetizer or party snack, perfect for entertaining with minimal prep time.
