How to make Toasted Ravioli

In a food processor combine almond milk with cashews. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then process until smooth and creamy.

Get 3 bowls ready for coating the ravioli. Add the flour to the first one, and transfer the cashew mixture to the second. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs with garlic powder, vegan parmesan, Italian herbs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

To coat the ravioli, start with by dipping them in flour until they are lightly coated. Then dip them in cashew cream and finally in the breadcrumbs mixture until it is all covered.

Heat oil in a saucepan. Make sure it is hot, then fry ravioli for around 1-2 minutes from each side.

When done, serve with marinara sauce.

Baked version:

Yes you can bake them, but I can say while trying the result won’t be the same. It will turn out delicious from the oven, but not crispy as fried from the pan.

To do that preheat oven to 410°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with a bit oil. Prepare your toasted ravioli as in the instructions as written above, lay them out on your baking sheet.

You can add a bit oil on top with a pastry brush, if you like, to help with crispness though baking.

Bake for around 15 minutes, serve and devour.

Storing and freezing instructions

Leftovers will last for 5 days in the fridge. You can reheat them in the microwave or in the oven at low temperature to enjoy later. While it is a great idea, I vouch that you eat them hot, there isn’t any better than fresh and hot.

For freezing:

Always let the Toasted Ravioli cool down completely before you are going to freeze them. Use individual or larger freezer bags, so these can last for around 3 months.

To reheat: use your oven at 300°F. Bake them completely thawed on a prepared baking sheet until these are warm and delicious.

Also use a skillet with a bit of oil. You don’t need that much just 1 or 2 tablespoons and reheat until warm and crispy.

Tips and tricks to get the most amazing results

Always only begin frying when the oil is hot. With this you get best frying result, provide a great texture in and out.

Use neutral tasting oil like safflower, sunflower or peanut oil, but make sure it is made for frying, because it needs to be a oil for high temperature.

For the most delicious experience always serve the Toasted Ravioli warm and hot, yum.

Things to serve with these Toasted Ravioli

  • Spaghetti Sauce –  this was seriously so amazing I think this might be thanks to the texture in this sauce.
  • Ranch Dip – not a combination that I would have expected to work so well. But I tell you that is seriously so amazing. The crispy texture with the creaminess and coolness of ranch.
  • Yum Yum Sauce –  this was so fantastic that I really couldn’t stop eating this, so good.

This is probably a dumb question, but if I am using refrigerated ravioli (Trader Joe's vegan ravioli), I just use them straight out of the fridge/package, right? I assume frying them is all that's needed to cook them. Thanks :)

Hi Michelle1 Please thaw completely and dry them with paper towels. Remove as much liquid as you can, because this is indeed not great for frying. Hope that helps.
