Ingredients
  

For the Tortellini
  • 12 oz Refrigerated Tortellini Use cheese or prosciutto varieties for best flavor and structure.
For the Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Prevents sticking during cooking; can be substituted with any neutral oil.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Adjust based on your preference—omit if desired.
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning Enhances flavor; try using your favorite herbs.
  • 1 tsp Salt Be cautious if using salted cheese.
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Adds cheesy depth; fresh is best!
For Cooking
  • 1 spray Cooking Spray Ensures tortellini don’t stick in the air fryer.

Equipment

  • air fryer

Method
 

Steps
  1. Start by placing your refrigerated tortellini in a large bowl and pour boiling water over them. Soak for about 3 minutes until they soften slightly, then drain well.
  2. In the same bowl, add the drained tortellini back in, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes. Spray the basket lightly with cooking spray.
  4. Place the seasoned tortellini in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set the timer for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through for even crisping.
  5. Once cooked, transfer to a warm oven at 200°F (93°C) if preparing in batches. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Serve fresh for the best experience; they lose their crispness if left sitting too long.
