Air Fryer Pasta Chips
Crunchy pasta chips with parmesan cheese are easy to make in the air fryer and are so delicious on their own or with savory dips.
Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 179
Ingredients
- 8 ounces rigatoni pasta or bow tie or penne (I used tortiglioni)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish if desired
- 1 teaspoon Italian dressing mix or your favorite seasoning mix (or ½ teaspoon oregano and ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- parsley finely chopped, to garnish, optional
Instructions
- Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions. Do not overcook. Drain without rinsing and return to the pot to remove moisture.
- About 2 minutes before pasta is ready, preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- To the pot of drained pasta, add olive oil, parmesan, Italian dressing mix, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Add pasta to air fryer basket* and cook for 10-12 minutes**, tossing the basket every 3-4 minutes until the pasta is cooked to desired doneness.
- Cool for 3-4 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley and parmesan if desired. Serve with dip, salsa, or hummus.
Notes
*While a single layer is best (meaning you may need to do batches), tossing the basket every 3-4 minutes works to cook them all at once!
**The pasta chips crisp as they cool. If you'd like them to be a bit more crisp, simply pop them back in the air fryer for another couple of minutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
