Ingredients
– 1 package (20 oz) cheese-filled tortellini
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the tortellini with the olive oil until evenly coated.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Add the breadcrumb mixture to the tortellini and toss gently to coat each piece.
5. Arrange the coated tortellini in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap.
6. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the tortellini are crispy and golden brown.
7. Serve the Crispy Air Fryer Tortellini immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as marinara, pesto, or ranch.
Notes
For extra crispiness, you can lightly mist the tortellini with cooking spray before air frying. Adjust the cooking time as needed, depending on the size and thickness of your tortellini. Store any leftover crispy tortellini in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore the crispiness.
