Preparation

1. 1.
   In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. 2.
   Dip each ravioli into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the ravioli in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
3. 3.
   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated ravioli in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. 4.
   Serve the toasted ravioli warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Ravioli — Ensure the ravioli is fully cooked before breading and frying to achieve the desired texture.
• Panko breadcrumbs — If you can't find panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs can be used as a substitute.
• Marinara sauce — Use a high-quality marinara sauce or make your own for the best flavor.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
• Serve the toasted ravioli immediately to maintain its crunchiness.
• Experiment with different fillings for the ravioli, such as spinach and ricotta or butternut squash.

Serving advice

Toasted Ravioli is best served as an appetizer or a snack. Arrange the crispy ravioli on a platter and serve with a side of warm marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with fresh basil leaves or grated Parmesan cheese for an added touch of elegance.

Presentation advice

Arrange the golden-brown toasted ravioli on a serving platter in a visually appealing pattern. Drizzle a little marinara sauce over the ravioli or serve it in a separate dipping bowl. Sprinkle some freshly chopped parsley on top for a pop of color.
