Air Fryer Pasta Chips – Crispy & Crunchy Snack

I tried the famous internet recipe for air fryer pasta chips, and now they’re my favorite snack! I made them for my Super Bowl party, and everyone loved them more than regular chips like Doritos or potato chips. They’re super simple and budget-friendly to make, yet taste amazing – crunchy, crispy, and full of flavor.

You can enjoy these pasta chips with any dip you like. I highly recommend a creamy chipotle dipping sauce – it’s garlicky, a little spicy, and perfect with these crunchy chips.

Instructions – Step-by-Step

1. Boil the Pasta

   • Cook your pasta according to the package directions.

   • I cooked mine for 12 minutes so it stays firm (“al dente”).

2. Drain and Season

   • Drain the pasta and place it in a large mixing bowl.

   • Add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

   • Mix everything well so the pasta is fully coated.

3. Preheat and Air Fry

   • Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (198°C) for 2 minutes.

   • Spread the pasta evenly in the air fryer basket or tray – don’t stack them.

4. Cook

   • Air fry at 390°F for 6 minutes.

   • Then open the air fryer, shake or stir the pasta to mix it around.

   • Cook for another 1–3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

5. Serve and Enjoy

   • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like chipotle, Chick-fil-A-style, or garlic mayo.

Tips & Tricks for the Best Pasta Chips

• Cook “al dente”: Boil the pasta just until firm, not too soft. It continues cooking in the air fryer.

• Same size pasta: Use pasta that’s all similar in size for even cooking. Avoid broken pieces.

• Try different shapes: You can use penne, farfalle (bowtie), rotini, or even cut lasagna sheets into triangles.

• Flavor boost: Add extra herbs or spices if you want to try new flavors!

 If Pasta Chips Are Too Hard

Sometimes they get too crunchy. Watch them closely while cooking.

• Not enough time = chewy chips

• Too much time = super hard chips
  Find your perfect timing for the crunch you like best!
