Oven-Baked Ravioli Bites Recipe
Fried ravioli is a popular item on appetizer menus but I took this opportunity to make them not only fabulously delicious but healthier for you too! Store bought ravioli transform into a crispy appetizer that’s perfect for any party or game day snack. With our healthier alternative to fried ravioli, there’s no need to deep fry with greasy oil anymore.
Our Oven-Baked Ravioli Bites puff up in the oven turning into a crispy pasta with a creamy cheese filling. The addition of balsamic vinegar to jarred pizza sauce makes these bites perfectly pop-able and totally irresistible. Be careful not to eat them all yourself because once you start dipping and popping you won’t want to stop!
