Crispy Tortellini Salad from the Airfryer - Crunchy, fresh & vegetarian
A crispy tortellini salad from the airfryer is the absolute secret tip if you're in the mood for something new, crunchy, and healthy at the same time. As a little 'cooking kitty,' I love it when tortellini aren't just boiled soft, but get an irresistibly crispy texture in the airfryer. This vegetarian dish is quick to make and perfect as a light lunch or for your next bowl creation. The combination of crispy pasta pockets, fresh cherry tomatoes, and crunchy arugula tastes like it's from a restaurant, but is super easy to whip up yourself. I skip pre-made sauces entirely and prepare a quick, homemade dressing with high-quality olive oil. You'll be amazed at how much flavor is packed into these few fresh ingredients. Grab your airfryer, let’s roast these golden-brown tortellini treasures together, and enjoy a salad that is guaranteed not to taste boring. Meow, enjoy your meal!
Ingredients
Preparation
Preheat your airfryer to 180 degrees so that the tortellini get nice and crispy later.
Toss the tortellini in a bowl with the olive oil and Italian herbs until evenly coated. This ensures the perfect aroma!
Place the tortellini in the airfryer basket and roast for about 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown. Gently shake the basket halfway through to ensure everything becomes evenly crispy.
Meanwhile, wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Wash the arugula and shake it dry.
Prepare a dressing in a small bowl using the balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. I love the acidic note with the savory dough.
Now mix the crispy tortellini with the tomatoes and arugula in a nice bowl and drizzle the dressing over them. Toss briefly and enjoy immediately before they lose their crunchiness!
