Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then cook the tortellini for about 4 minutes.
Drain the tortellini and gently blot them dry. Transfer to a bowl right away to prevent overcooking.
In one bowl, combine the cornstarch, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Whisk the eggs in another bowl. Then, prepare another bowl and mix the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
Toss the tortellini in the cornstarch mixture until lightly coated, then dip each piece into the egg mixture.
Transfer the coated tortellini to the breadcrumb mixture and coat well for that crispy finish.
Arrange the tortellini in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed.
Lightly spray the tortellini with cooking spray, then air fry the pasta for about 10 minutes per batch.
Shake the basket every 3 minutes for even browning. Once golden and crispy, they are ready to enjoy!

Notes

Cook the tortellini in batches, making sure they don't overlap in the air fryer basket. You can also shake the basket at the 5-minute mark to ensure they're air-fried evenly.
You can store your air fryer cheese tortellini in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To serve, reheat at 300°F for 4 minutes, or until they're crispy again.
