Toasted Ravioli

Healthy Fact of the Day

While delicious, Toasted Ravioli is a high-calorie, high-fat dish due to the frying process. To make it healthier, consider baking the breaded ravioli in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through. This method significantly reduces oil absorption. You can also use whole wheat breadcrumbs for added fiber and choose ravioli with a vegetable filling for more nutrients. Opt for a homemade marinara sauce to control sugar and salt content. Remember, moderation is key – enjoy these as an occasional treat rather than a regular meal. Pair with a large salad to balance the meal and increase your vegetable intake.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 package (25-30 pieces) frozen cheese ravioli
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Thaw ravioli according to package instructions, if frozen.

  2. In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.

  4. Dip each ravioli in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  5. Place breaded ravioli on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  6. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

  7. Fry ravioli in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

  8. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with additional Parmesan while hot.

  9. Warm marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave.

  10. Serve toasted ravioli immediately with marinara sauce for dipping.
