Expert Tips for Best Results
For the crispiest Easy Toasted Ravioli, make sure you don’t overcrowd your baking sheet. Working in batches ensures each ravioli gets plenty of air circulation, leading to even browning. Don’t skip spraying the tops of the ravioli with oil; this helps them achieve a beautiful, golden-brown color. If you find that your breadcrumbs aren’t adhering well, try using a slightly thicker egg wash by adding a tablespoon of flour. Also, keep a close eye on the ravioli while they bake, every oven is different, and you want to take them out when they’re perfectly golden brown, not burned.
Serving Suggestions
Easy Toasted Ravioli is incredibly versatile and can be served in so many exciting ways! Of course, warm marinara sauce is a classic dipping choice, but why not get creative? Try a creamy pesto sauce or a spicy arrabbiata for an extra kick. These crispy ravioli also make a fantastic appetizer for parties. Arrange them on a platter with a variety of dipping sauces for your guests to enjoy. For a more substantial meal, toss the toasted ravioli into a light garlic-butter sauce and serve with a side salad. They’re also a delicious addition to charcuterie boards as a fun and unexpected element. Kids and adults, the easy to eat, dippable flavors will delight everyone!
