  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using frozen tortellini, make sure to defrost it according to package instructions. Fresh tortellini can be used straight from the package.
  2. In a large bowl, add the tortellini, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss gently until the tortellini is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned tortellini in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  5. Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the air fryer. If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top while hot.
  6. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

For different flavors, use other seasonings like smoked paprika or cayenne pepper. Keep an eye on the cooking time as tortellini can quickly become overly crunchy. Ensure even coating with oil and spices to avoid dry patches.
