Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place a cooling rack on top for extra crispiness.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tortellini until just tender but still slightly firm.
- Drain the tortellini well and let them cool for a few minutes so excess moisture evaporates.
- Add flour to one bowl and whisk together the eggs and milk in another bowl until smooth.
- Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper in a third bowl.
- Coat each tortellini piece lightly in flour, then dip into the egg mixture until fully covered.
- Roll the tortellini in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks evenly.
- Arrange the coated tortellini on the prepared rack with space between each piece.
- Drizzle olive oil lightly over the tops to encourage even browning.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown, crispy, and fragrant.
- Warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan while the tortellini bakes.
- Sprinkle the baked bites with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan before serving hot with marinara dip.
