🍝 Air Fryer Pasta Chips

🍽️ Servings: 4 (snack portion)

⏱️ Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 10–12 mins

🧾 Ingredients:

2 cups cooked pasta (about 1 cup dry pasta) — any short shape like farfalle, penne, or rigatoni
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning (or dried oregano)
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: chili flakes or paprika for extra flavor

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

Cook the pasta:
Boil your pasta in salted water until just al dente. Drain and let cool slightly.
Season:
In a mixing bowl, toss the pasta with olive oil, Parmesan, and seasonings until evenly coated.
Air Fry:
- Place in a single layer in your air fryer basket.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Chips are done when golden and crispy.
Cool & Serve:
Let cool for a few minutes — they’ll crisp up more.
Serve with marinara, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.

✅ Tips:

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Work in batches if needed.
Want a dairy-free version? Use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
For extra crunch: Let pasta dry out for 10–15 minutes before air frying.
