Air Fryer Pasta Chips
Air Fryer Pasta Chips offer a crispy, customizable snack made from pasta and seasonings, cooked to perfection in the air fryer. These chips are a healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks and can be tailored to fit any flavor preference.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rigatoni or farfalle bow-tie, regular, whole wheat, chickpea, or gluten-free
- 1 – 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the rigatoni. Cook the pasta al dente according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and transfer it directly into a mixing bowl.
- Meanwhile, preheat your air fryer to 380°F.
- Toss the cooked pasta with olive oil, seasonings, salt, and parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
- Transfer the seasoned pasta to the preheated air fryer basket and cook for 10 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. For best results, shake the basket at the 6-minute mark, as air fryers vary in cooking time.
- Enjoy immediately! Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve as a side with your favorite main dish or as an appetizer with marinara sauce or pesto for dipping.
Notes
Parmesan: You can swap out parmesan cheese for Romano cheese, Pecorino cheese, or nutritional yeast.
Make It Vegan: To make this recipe vegan, simply omit the parmesan cheese and replace it with nutritional yeast.
Use any type of pasta: I enjoy using regular wheat, chickpea, or protein pasta, but you can also try lentil, gluten-free, or whole-wheat pasta.
Storing: Air fryer pasta chips are best served fresh from the air fryer. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
