Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups farfalle pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta but do not rinse it. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer and Season Pasta: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the cooked pasta into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir well to combine the ingredients evenly, coating all pasta pieces.
  3. Air Fry the Pasta Chips: Spread one-quarter of the seasoned pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 5 minutes, then carefully flip the pasta chips and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until crispy and golden.
  4. Cool and Serve: Transfer the cooked pasta chips to a plate lined with paper towels. Break apart any pieces stuck together and allow them to cool completely to enhance crispiness.
  5. Repeat and Enjoy: Repeat the air frying process with the remaining pasta in batches. Serve the pasta chips with your favorite dip and enjoy this crunchy snack.

Notes

  • Do not rinse the cooked pasta after draining to help the seasoning stick better.
  • Make sure to arrange the pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping.
  • Allow the pasta chips to cool completely on paper towels for maximum crunchiness.
  • These pasta chips can be served with marinara sauce, ranch, or any favorite dipping sauce.
  • Use gluten-free pasta if you want a gluten-free version.
