Description

Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Pasta Chips made from rigatoni noodles tossed in garlic, olive oil, and parmesan cheese. A unique snack perfect for sharing and dipping.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces rigatoni noodles, cooked al dente and drained
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated


Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking the pasta chips evenly.
  2. Prepare Noodles: Place the cooked rigatoni noodles in a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the noodles so they are evenly coated with the oil.
  3. Arrange Noodles in Air Fryer: Spread the coated pasta noodles in a single layer on your air fryer rack or basket, avoiding overlap for even crisping.
  4. Air Fry Pasta: Air fry the pasta chips at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Check halfway and shake or stir if needed for even cooking.
  5. Make Flavor Mixture: While the pasta chips cook, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil with minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl. Mix well to create a flavorful oil mixture.
  6. Coat Pasta Chips: Once air fried, transfer the pasta chips to a bowl and pour the garlic oil mixture over them. Toss thoroughly to ensure each chip is coated.
  7. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the coated pasta chips and toss again gently to combine.
  8. Serve: Serve the air fryer pasta chips warm, either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara or garlic sauce for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure pasta is cooked al dente to prevent it from becoming too soft during air frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow for crisping.
  • Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add herbs like parsley for extra taste.
  • These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
