Ingredients
- 8 oz short pasta (rigatoni, farfalle, penne, or rotini)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese or vegan alternative (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning or dried herbs of choice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional dips: marinara, ranch, hummus, pesto
Instructions
- Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Transfer pasta to a mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and Parmesan (if using).

- To air fry: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Add seasoned pasta to the basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free version.
- Skip the cheese or use a vegan alternative for dairy-free.
- Reheat in oven or air fryer if pasta chips lose their crunch.
- Great served with dips like marinara, hummus, or ranch.
- Don’t overcook or chips can become too hard.
