Ravioli on a stick is a tasty appetizer everyone talks about. They’re simple and fun to make and eat. Use packaged dipping sauces, or make your own. Get my recipes on my blog, thehopelesshousewife.com. —Erika Monroe-Williams, Scottsdale, Arizona

Ingredients

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese ravioli
Oil for frying
Grated Parmesan cheese, optional
42 lollipop sticks
Warm marinara sauce and prepared pesto

Directions

In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and seasonings. Place flour and eggs in separate shallow bowls. Dip ravioli in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
In a large electric or cast-iron skillet, heat 1/2 in. of oil to 375°. Fry ravioli, a few at a time, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with cheese if desired. Carefully insert a lollipop stick into the back of each ravioli. Serve warm with marinara sauce and pesto.

Test Kitchen Tips

Refrigerated tortellini also make delicious pops!

Plan ahead! Fry a big batch of these bad boys and freeze in a single layer. Then you can simply pop a few in a 425-degree oven and bake until they crisp up.

If you don't dig on spice, cut the heat by simply omitting the crushed red pepper flakes.
