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 pasta according to package instructions until al dente or slightly past al dente. Drain well.
- Mix Coating: In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with olive oil, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Toss using wooden spoons until all pasta pieces are evenly coated.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spray the air fryer basket lightly with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry Pasta: Place the coated pasta in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Spray the top of the pasta lightly with nonstick spray again. Air fry for 10 to 15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the pasta chips are golden brown and crisp. Depending on your air fryer size, work in batches if necessary.
- Serve: Carefully remove pasta chips from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure pasta is not overcooked; a slightly firm texture is ideal before air frying.
- Work in batches if your air fryer basket cannot hold all the pasta in a single layer to ensure even crisping.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor and coating adherence.
- Customize seasonings to taste, adding spices like paprika or red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
