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. 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 poppable and totally irresistible. Be careful not to eat them all yourself because once you start dipping and popping you won’t want to stop!
