Ingredients
Toasted Ravioli
- Pre-made cheese (plant-based) or vegetable-filled ravioli, quantity as needed
- Flour (or gluten-free flour alternative), 1 cup
- Italian herbs (dried), 1 teaspoon
- Garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt, 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon
- Olive oil, 2-3 tablespoons for toasting
- Smoked turkey bacon, 4 slices
- Plant-based cheese, 1/2 cup (shredded or small cubes)
Zesty Apple Cider Vinegar Dip
- Apple cider vinegar (natural), 1/4 cup
- Natural gelling agent, a pinch
- Smoked turkey bacon, 1 slice finely chopped (cooked)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating: Combine flour (or gluten-free flour alternative) with Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish to create a flavorful seasoning mix that helps achieve a crispy outer layer.
- Coat the Ravioli: Pat the ravioli dry to remove excess moisture. Toss them gently in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides for a golden toasted crust.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a skillet, cook the smoked turkey bacon until lightly crisp. Remove and chop into small pieces to sprinkle over the finished ravioli or add into the dipping sauce.
- Toast the Ravioli: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the coated ravioli in the pan and cook about 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Make the Zesty Dip: In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar (natural), natural gelling agent, and finely chopped cooked smoked turkey bacon until well combined and slightly thickened.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate the toasted ravioli warm alongside the dip. Garnish with extra smoked turkey bacon pieces or fresh herbs if desired for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Pat ravioli dry before coating to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Use medium heat when toasting to cook ravioli evenly without burning.
- Toast ravioli in small batches to maintain consistent texture and heat.
- For extra cheesy flavor, add plant-based Parmesan to the flour seasoning mix.
- Serve toasted ravioli promptly for the best crunch and flavor.
