Description

These Air Fryer Pasta Chips are the crispiest, easiest snack made from cooked pasta tossed in olive oil and seasonings, then air fried to golden perfection. They’re a fun and flavorful twist on traditional chips, perfect for snacking with your favorite dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked pasta (any shape), cooled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Drain and let it cool completely to ensure crispiness during air frying.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooled pasta with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Toss Pasta: Toss everything together thoroughly until the pasta pieces are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to get the perfect cooking environment.
  5. Air Fry Pasta: Place a single layer of the seasoned pasta in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Work in batches if needed.
  6. Cook and Shake: Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning and crisping.
  7. Drain Excess Oil: Once the pasta chips turn golden brown and crispy, remove them and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  8. Repeat and Serve: Repeat air frying with remaining pasta batches. Serve immediately while warm and crispy, optionally with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, pesto, cheese sauce, or spicy mayo for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure pasta is thoroughly cooled before air frying to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Use a dry pasta shape like penne, rigatoni, or ziti for best results.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate evenly.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities according to your taste preferences.
  • Serve immediately, as pasta chips can lose crispness over time.
