Ingredients
- 20 ounce package prepared raviolis frozen *see notes below
- 1 ½ cups Panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning click link for homemade recipe
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup canola oil optional - for frying
- 1 cup marinara sauce optional - for dipping
Instructions
- Combine the panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and salt in a shallow bowl.
- Add the flour to another shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs together in a third shallow bowl.
- Dredge each ravioli in the flour, shaking off any excess, then roll it in the egg mixture. Drip off any excess egg, then coat the ravioli in the bread crumbs on all sides. Repeat until all of the raviolis are coated in the breadcrumbs.
- Place the breaded raviolis in the refrigerator to chill while you heat the oil to fry them.
- Heat canola oil in a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the breaded raviolis, 4-6 at a time so you don't overcrowd the pan, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack, over a stack of paper towels. Repeat until all of the raviolis are cooked.
- Air fryer method: alternatively you can spray the raviolis on both sides with cooking spray and cook them in a single layer in an air fryer at 400°F for 6-8 minutes. I could fit 6 in my 5.8 quart air fryer with space around each one so they would cook evenly. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you’ll probably have to cook the raviolis in multiple batches.

Notes
- Prepared raviolis are usually found refrigerated near the deli section at the grocery store. For this recipe, I used a four cheese ravioli, but you can use another type of ravioli with a different filling. To make an Olive Garden copycat recipe for Toasted Ravioli, you’ll want to use raviolis with a ground beef filling. Chicken, Italian sausage, and spinach ricotta are also common types of filling found in prepared raviolis at the grocery store. I recommend freezing the raviolis at least an hour before making this recipe, if they’re not already frozen. This will make breading them easier and they’ll cook in just the right amount of time.
- You can bread the raviolis up to 24 hours in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook them. You can also freeze the breaded raviolis for up to 6 months.
