Tips
- Choosing the right tortellini is key.
- Preheat when needed.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket.
- Shake or flip halfway.
- Use nonstick spray wisely.
- Monitor the temperature.
- Clean regularly.
- Tri-color cheese tortellini, cheese and spinach or chicken and mozzarella make a great substitute for the plain cheese tortellini.
- You can substitute frozen cheese tortellini for the fresh, but it may not have the same texture as the fresh.
- For a spicy alternative, add ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the oil and seasoning before cooking in the air fryer.
