Ingredients
- 225 g (8 oz) short pasta (farfalle, penne, or rigatoni)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- 2–3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- (Optional) 1/4 tsp paprika or chili flakes
Instructions
- Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain thoroughly and let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Make sure each piece is well coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F).
- Place the seasoned pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for best crisping.
- Air fry for 5 minutes, shake or stir, then cook for another 5–7 minutes until the pasta is golden and crunchy.
- Transfer to a rack or paper towel to cool fully, then enjoy with your favorite dip.
Notes
- Don’t overcook the pasta—keep it al dente so it crisps up instead of getting chewy.
- For extra crispness, let the pasta dry for 10–15 minutes before air frying.
- Try flavor twists like Cajun seasoning, chili powder, or ranch powder.
- For a sweet version, toss with melted butter and cinnamon sugar instead of savory spices.
