Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked pasta (rigatoni, rotini, or bow tie recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: dipping sauces (marinara, ranch, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta al dente according to package instructions. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. In a bowl, toss the pasta with olive oil, parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
  4. Place pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd.
  5. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  6. Let cool for 3–5 minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use short, sturdy pasta for best results.
  • Try different seasonings like ranch mix, BBQ rub, or even cinnamon sugar for sweet chips.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Re-crisp in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes if needed.
  • Gluten-free pasta works—just ensure it’s al dente and not overcooked.
