Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine the ground Fiber One cereal (or breadcrumbs), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, garlic salt, pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

After coating in the egg, dredge the ravioli in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even layer of breading adheres.

Arrange the breaded ravioli on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking. Lightly spray the tops with PAM or another cooking spray for added crispiness.
