Notes
-
Don’t overcrowd: Give ravioli space so they crisp instead of steam.
-
Extra flavor: Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or chili flakes to the breadcrumbs.
-
Cheesier crunch: Parmesan adds flavor and helps browning, but it’s optional.
-
Crispier finish: A light spray of oil on top makes a big difference.
