Description

Crispy Air Fryer Cheese Tortellini is a delicious and crunchy snack or appetizer that is easy to make in an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)


Instructions

  1. If using frozen tortellini, cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and let cool for a few minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked tortellini, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the tortellini are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Place the tortellini in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  5. Cook the tortellini for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Once cooked, remove the tortellini from the air fryer and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
  • Experiment with different cheeses by using a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for a unique flavor.
