Air Fryer Tortellini

Ingredients

  • 9 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • ¾ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated (divide ½ cup and ¼ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. It’s important that all the water has drained from the tortellini in order for the oil, spices and parmesan to stick to the tortellini.
  • Add the drained tortellini to a medium size bowl, and drizzle with olive oil. Stir to completely coat.
  • Sprinkle the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and ½ cup of the freshly grated parmesan. Stir until the tortellini is completely coated with the seasoning and grated parmesan.
  • If your air fryer requires it, preheat the 360°F. Always check your owner’s manual for instructions for preheating
  • Spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Arrange the coated tortellini in a single layer in the prepared basket. If you have a smaller air fryer, you will need to bake the tortellini in batches.
  • Air fry for 6 minutes, shake the tortellini, and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Transfer the air fryer tortellini to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup grated parmesan and chopped fresh parsley.
