Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz cheese tortellini (refrigerated or cooked and cooled if frozen)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Olive oil spray
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- If using frozen tortellini, cook according to package directions and let cool completely.
- Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Dip each tortellini first in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place coated tortellini in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray lightly with olive oil.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches if needed.
- You can use meat or spinach tortellini instead of cheese.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
