Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta (farfalle and rigatoni recommended)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente or slightly beyond. Then drain well.
- Toss with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with olive oil, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Toss thoroughly using wooden spoons until evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Spray the basket with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry Pasta: Spread the coated pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the tops with nonstick spray again. Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the pasta is golden brown and crisp. Work in batches if needed based on air fryer size.
- Serve: Carefully remove the crispy pasta chips and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure pasta is well drained before tossing to avoid sogginess.
- Depending on your air fryer size, cook in multiple batches to get an even crisp.
- Use fresh parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- These pasta chips are best enjoyed immediately for optimal crispiness.
