    Air frying your own potato chips is easy to do and they taste amazing. Both these pasta chips and those potato chips would go nicely when served together!

    Make your homemade pasta chips even better using special seasonings. You can find a selection of seasonings that can work in this recipe here.

    Why we love this recipe for pasta chips.

    Ingredients needed to make chips using pasta.

    The pasta that you use can be freshly made or can be made specifically for this recipe. You can even use ready to eat pasta that comes in a packet.

    Here is what you will need to make this snack.

    • Pasta. It is best to use pasta that is easy to eat with your fingers and be able to hold up when dipped. Softer pasta, such as whole wheat may not work as well (I have not tried using whole wheat pasta in this recipe).
    • Olive Oil or Olive Oil Spray. This adds a bit of flavor while helping the seasoning stick to the pasta.
    • Seasonings. My pasta chips were made with salt and garlic powder. I have also made this recipe using Italian seasonings and taco seasoning.
    • Parmesan Cheese. Grated cheese adds a taste element in addition to a texture element. Air fried grated parmesan also tastes good when it gets crunchy.

    Tips for making the best pasta chips

    Choose a pasta that is between 1 ½ to three inches long for best results. Also, the pasta should be flat rather than round so that it can be used for dipping. Good pasta choices include farfalle pasta, bowtie pasta, and Campanelle pasta.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. If you are cooking pasta to use in this recipe rather than using leftovers, cook the pasta al dente. This will help keep the structure intact when air frying the pasta.
    2. Cooking times can vary depending on the size of your air fryer. It is best to keep an eye on the pasta while it is cooking.
    3. It is important that you remember to shake the air fryer basket a few times while the pasta is air frying. This will help keep the pasta from sticking to one another and allow the pasta to bake evenly.
    4. It is best to not overcrowd the air fryer basket as doing so can make the pasta cook unevenly.
    5. Don't be afraid to experiment with seasonings and dips with this recipe.

    1. If you are using already cooked pasta you can skip this step otherwise, cook your pasta al dente according to the direction on the packaging. Then drain the pasta and rinse it with cold water.
    2. Place the cooked pasta (cooled and drained) in a large bowl.
    3. Preheat your air fryer to 400 and prepare a stack of paper towels where your cooked pasta chips will go.
    4. Drizzle or spray half of the olive oil over the pasta. Toss the pasta and spray or drizzle again.
    5. Add half of the seasonings and cheese, toss, and then add the remaining and toss again so that every piece of pasta has seasoning and oil.
    6. Place the pasta in the air fryer in a single layer so that the pasta pieces are not touching. You may need to make this recipe in batched.
    7. Air fry the pasta for five minutes. Toss or flip the pasta. Cook for three to five minutes or until crisp.
    8. Place the air fried pasta on your prepared stack of paper towels to cool.
    9. Serve the cooled chips with your favorite dip(s) or sauce(s).

    Expert Tip👉 Overcooking the pasta can make it too hard to chewy. It is best to keep the air frying to 10 minutes or under total (for most air fryers).

    How to store pasta chips.

    Once the pasta chips have fully cooled, you can store them in an airtight container. When properly stored, these chips should keep for up to five days at room temperature.
