Parmesan Crusted Tortellini Bites #appetizers #snack

These Fried Tortellini Bites are encompassed by a fresh Parmesan Crust and make an awesome hors d'oeuvre with some warm marinara sauce for plunging! In addition, directions for preparing them!

Would you be able to Make These Ahead of Time?
Setting up the breading for this browned tortellini can take a touch of planning time. Fortunately, you can bread these early and place the breaded tortellini an a sealed shut holder in the ice chest the day preceding you're prepared to cook them.

Would you be able to Make These in an Air Fryer?
Anything with a breading this way (instead of a fluid profound fry player) functions admirably in an air fryer.

Ingredients

• 9 oz. refrigerated three cheese tortellini see notes for my preferred brand
• 48 oz. Canola oil (6 cups)
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs beaten
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
• 2 teaspoons parsley finely chopped
• ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
• ½ cup marinara sauce

Instructions

1. Mix together the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
2. Cook the tortellini until it’s 1 minute before it’s al-dente. Drain, and coat generously with flour.
3. Dip each tortellini into the beaten eggs, and then into the panko mixture.
4. Heat the oil in a dutch oven to 375 degrees. You may not need to use all of the canola oil but ensure that the tortellini is covered by an inch or two. 
5. If you’re unsure if the oil is the right temperature, put a test piece of tortellini in the oil and ensure that it begins to fry almost immediately, but not too intensely. Cook the tortellini pieces for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. You may have to do this in batches.
6. Place on a paper towel, pat dry, and serve with warm marinara sauce!

Baking Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375° and place a greased baking sheet in the heated oven for 5 minutes.
2. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the breaded tortellini on top. Lightly spread with cooking spray.
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until they're crisp and begin to toast and brown. 
4. Remove from the oven and serve with warm marinara!
5. BUITONI Refrigerated Three Cheese Tortellini is great with this recipe.
