Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked pasta (such as rigatoni or penne)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to heat up while you prepare the pasta mixture.
- Toss the pasta: In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Toss well until the pasta is evenly coated with the seasoning and cheese.
- Arrange in the air fryer: Spread the seasoned pasta in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Air fry the pasta: Cook the pasta chips for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning, until the pasta is golden and crispy.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pasta chips from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
- Use short pasta shapes like rigatoni, penne, or farfalle that hold their shape well during cooking.
- For extra crispiness, let the boiled pasta dry slightly before tossing and air frying.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the pasta chips at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
