Air Fryer Tortellini

Ingredients

9 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
2½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Divide ½ cup and ¼ cup
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

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.

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) Bake for 6 minutes, shake the tortellini and bake for another 5 to 6 minutes or until golden brown.

Transfer the baked tortellini to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup grated parmesan and chopped fresh parsley.
