Pro Tips for the Best Results

Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

Air circulation is key for even crisping—cook in batches if needed.

Adjust Time for Crispiness

For softer tortelloni, cook 6–7 minutes; for extra crispy, go up to 10–11 minutes.

Use Oil for Best Texture

A light coat of oil helps them crisp and prevents dry spots.

Try Air Fryer Parchment

Parchment liners can help reduce sticking if using minimal oil.
