Ingredients

  • ½ pound pasta (of choice)
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (or vegan version for dairy-free)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pepper to taste
  • Your favorite dipping sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Boil the pasta according to package directions, then drain. Return pasta to the pot.
  2. Season the Pasta: Add grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, and pepper to the pasta. Toss well to coat evenly.
  3. Air Fry the Chips: Place half of the pasta in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, tossing halfway through. Check for desired crispness, especially towards the end.
  4. Cool and Serve: Once crispy and golden brown around the edges (but not burned), remove the pasta chips from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes to crisp up even more. Serve with your favorite dip!

Notes

  • Air Fryer Tip: Check pasta every 60 seconds in the final few minutes to prevent burning. Cooking times may vary by air fryer.
  • Make it Vegan: Swap in vegan parmesan to make this recipe dairy-free!
