Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3.5 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 20 oz frozen cheese ravioli keep frozen until breading
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup buttermilk
  • 1.25 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup marinara sauce for dipping
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes to help prevent scorching.
  • Heat oil in a deep, heavy pot to 350°F. Keep a baking rack over a sheet pan ready.
  • Combine Italian breadcrumbs, panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  • Put flour in one shallow bowl and buttermilk in another to create a breading station.
  • Blot any surface ice from frozen ravioli. Thread 3–4 ravioli onto each soaked skewer.
  • Dredge each skewer in flour, dip in buttermilk, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat well.
  • Fry skewers in batches until deep golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes. Turn as needed for even color.
  • Drain on the rack. Warm marinara. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with the sauce.

Notes

Variation: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mix for heat, or swap in meat-filled ravioli. To air-fry, mist breaded skewers with oil and cook at 380°F for 8–10 minutes, turning once.
Make-ahead tip: Keep fried skewers warm and crisp on a rack in a 200°F oven for up to 30 minutes. Leftovers re-crisp well in an air fryer at 360°F for 3–4 minutes.
