Lighter Fried Ravioli with this simple recipe allows you to enjoy this favorite appetizer without all the guilt!
I adore fried ravioli.
As in I seriously love, love, love them. Too much, in fact. So, I decided to lighten up my favorite fried ravioli recipe so that I wouldn’t feel nearly as guilty when I dig into them.
They are perfect for serving as an appetizer for tailgating or when friends come over for a party. They also make a delicious side dish for serving alongside a big bowl of tomato soup or even for the kids for lunch. Love!
Kids?
Who am I kidding?
This makes a mighty delicious lunch to me, too!
Here’s my lighter fried ravioli recipe. I think you’ll love them. Heck, this way, you can have one or two more!

I love fried ravioli, too. I hate actually frying things, though, because it makes such a huge mess. I love being able to stick things in the oven instead. Great idea.
Thank you, Robyn.
You totally had me at the first glimpse. These look oh so good! I must try!
uh-oh…I might eat WAY to many of these!!
Oh, ROBYN!!! (<do all of my comments start that way?!?) 😉 Looks delicious!
I love this recipe! The panko gives it a perfect crunch!
Great idea to lighten them up! I agree with Chung-Ah … maybe that means I can have another?
Fried ravioli is the best! I love this lightened up version because that just means I’ll have 2 servings instead of 1!
