Ingredients
  

Tortellini and Coating
  • 1 package (16 oz) Refrigerated Cheese Tortellini Do not boil beforehand
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
Dipping Sauce (Marinara)
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce Warmed

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the uncooked tortellini with the olive oil until they are lightly coated on all sides.
  3. In a small separate bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled tortellini and toss thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the cheese mixture.
  5. Spread the coated tortellini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to achieve maximum crispiness.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring gently halfway through, until the tortellini are golden brown, slightly puffed, and crispy on the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving immediately alongside the warmed marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

These are best served immediately out of the oven. For extra zest, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix. Ensure tortellini are fully dry after coating for the best crunch.
