Well, the Super Bowl is next weekend! Are you going to watch the game, or are you going to chill out and watch a movie? We are kind of fine weather fans here. We wait until the big games come on, and then we pretend like we have been avid football fans all year. I know we can not be the only ones who do this. I think we watch the game because of all the excitement involved in it. There are those amazing commercials, and some are the best ones of the year. I mean, honestly, they are at least as much fun as the game. There is halftime which is always a great show and sometimes very scandalous! Such a great time to entertain. Are you having guests over? If so, these Crispy Parmesan Fried Tortellini are absolutely amazing. Nothing is better than a deep-fried cheese treat dipped in warm marinara.
Have you tried any of my other delicious appetizers? Beer Battered Onion Rings with Dipping Sauce, Quick, and Creamy Crab Stuffed Mushrooms, and Crab Rangoon Egg Rolls are just a few family, friend, and reader favorites.
These delectable Crispy Parmesan Fried Tortellini are so easy to prep and fry up, making them the perfect party appetizer, game day food, or movie night munchies. You can fry these babies up in less than an inch of oil and flip and brown the other side. They are perfect dipped in just a bit of marinara, and boy, do they go fast, so be prepared. Are you planning on a little bit of a crowd for that Super Bowl event or party? Plan ahead by keeping your Crispy Parmesan Fried Tortellini well ventilated, and use paper towels to absorb the moisture. This will help ensure a nice crispy fried treat!

can these be prepped ahead of time like a day ahead. have a crowed of 300 and if they could be they can be fried before serving
Beth Pierce
You can bread these ahead of time and flash freeze. To flash freezer place on cookie sheets covered with wax paper or aluminum foil. They should not be touching or they will freeze together. Place on the cookie sheet in the freezer until the tortellini are frozen. Once frozen store in Ziploc freezer bags. You can pull them out and fry as needed. With that many people coming I would recommend using several fryers as they are much easier to control than pans with oil in them.
