Prepare the egg wash: In a shallow bowl, beat the 2 large eggs until well combined.
Make the breadcrumb mixture: In a separate shallow dish, combine the Italian bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and kosher salt. Mix well.
Dip the ravioli: Set up an assembly line. Dip each ravioli into the egg wash, coating both sides.
Coat with breadcrumbs: Place each egg-dipped ravioli into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to fully coat. Set the breaded ravioli aside in a single layer.
Preheat the oven (for baking option): Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush it with olive oil.
Bake the ravioli: Arrange the breaded ravioli on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Brush the tops with olive oil. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
Heat the oil (for frying option): In a heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of canola oil to 375°F. Use an oil thermometer for accuracy.
Fry the ravioli: Working in batches, carefully add the breaded ravioli to the hot oil. Fry for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve: Serve the crispy toasted ravioli warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.

For Extra Crispiness: Brush both the parchment paper and the tops of the ravioli with olive oil before baking to get that golden brown, crispy finish.
Air Fryer Option: Place breaded ravioli in a single layer, spray with cooking spray, and air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy.
Keep Oil Temperature Steady: When frying, maintain the oil at 375°F. This ensures the ravioli cook evenly and stay crispy without getting too greasy.
Set Up an Assembly Line: Organizing the breading process with an assembly line makes it faster and cleaner. Arrange the egg wash, breadcrumb mixture, and a plate or tray for the breaded ravioli in a row. This keeps the process efficient and minimizes mess!
