Here’s a simple recipe for Pasta Chips:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups pasta (any short pasta like penne, rigatoni, or bowtie)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Dips (like marinara, ranch, or hummus) for serving
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta:
- Boil the pasta according to the package instructions, but cook it slightly less than al dente (about 1 minute less). Drain and let it cool.
- Season the pasta:
- In a bowl, toss the cooked pasta with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. You can also add Parmesan cheese at this stage for extra flavor.
- Air Fry or Bake:
- Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spread the pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
- Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the pasta on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove the pasta chips and let them cool for a minute. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or hummus.
Enjoy your crispy, crunchy pasta chips!
