My college age daughter is obsessed with the TikTok viral recipes for Air Fryer Pasta Chips. She makes them all the time. Do you like trying TikTok recipes? One of our faves is the Nerds Ropes.
They are so simple to make and taste amazing. You won’t believe it!
What do Air Fryer Pasta Chips taste like?
They taste like crackers or chips. So if you love salty snacks like that, you’ll love this one, too!
What kind of pasta can you use?
I would recommend any smaller pasta like penne, farfalle (bowties), fusilli or rotini as opposed to the longer ones like spaghetti or fettuccine.
What do you need to make pasta chips?
You probably have it all in the pantry already! Here’s what we used:
- a box of pasta
- olive oil
- spices (oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper)
- if you want spicier, red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper are good to have on hand, too!
How do you make air fryer pasta chips?
Boiled the pasta as directed on the box.
Drain the pasta thoroughly and toss in olive oil.
You want there to be an even layer of pasta in the air fryer, so we only use half the pasta at a time to make the pasta chips. We have a big 8-qt air fryer, so you may need to take even less than 1/2 the pasta.
Take just half the pasta and add the full amount of oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper as well as 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese and toss.
If you have to use less than 1/2 the pasta, just eyeball your spices. You can also add additional ones like red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning.
Cook in air fryer for 12-15 minutes at 400 F.
Remove from the air fryer and toss again with the last tablespoon of parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately.
Store leftovers for 4-5 days in a sealed container.
