Air Fryer Pasta Chips is a crunchy yummy snack recipe made with pasta, olive oil, salt and seasoning. It is so simple, quick and makes for a perfect munching snack or appetiser with dipping sauce.
These air fried pasta chips are:
- Vegan
- Easy & Quick to make
- Made in very little oil
- Absolutely crispy!!
These pasta chips gained their popularity from viral TikTok trend. They can be deep fried too but as I wanted to keep the recipe low oil, I made them in airfryer.
Pasta Chips Ingredients:
1. Pasta: I have used Farfalle pasta (also known as bow tie pasta) to make these chips. You can use other short pasta varieties too like Rigatoni, Fusilli, Penne or Macaroni etc
2. Olive Oil: Before tossing the boiled pasta in air fryer, they need to be coated well with olive oil. You can use other types of oil too like sunflower, sesame etc.
3. Spices or seasoning: I have used a mix of salt, black pepper, chilli flakes, Italian seasoning to spice up these crispy chips. The Italian seasoning I am using already has dried oregano, dried basil, dehydrated garlic etc.
You can experiment & add any dried herbs or seasoning of your choice to these pasta chips. More options that you can try:
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Cumin powder
- Red Chilli Powder
Some people add the seasoning to chips before air frying but I like to add them later as sometimes during air frying the spices get slightly charred and taste off.
4. Parmesan: Adding parmesan is totally optional. If you want you can add it or use vegan parmesan in the recipe.
How to make air fryer pasta chips?
To make these, we first boil the pasta as per the package instructions. Drain and toss the pasta in olive oil, salt and air fry till it becomes crispy. Finally, sprinkle seasoning & spices on them as per your liking. Served with yummy dipping sauces like marinara, garlic mayo, hummus or whipped feta dip.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- Bow Tie Pasta (uncooked)- 1 cup (80 g)
- Olive Oil- 3 tsp
- Black Pepper- 1/2 tsp
- Red Chilli Flakes- 1/4 tsp
- Italian seasoning- 1 tsp
- Salt- 1/2 tsp (to taste)
Directions:
Step 1:
Boil water in a pot. Add pasta to it and cook as per the package instructions. By the time pasta is boiling, set the air fryer for preheating at 200°C (400°F).
Step 2:
Once the pasta is boiled, transfer it over a colander to drain all the water from it.
Step 3:
Transfer it to a bowl. Add salt along with 1 tbsp olive. Toss gently. (If you are using parmesan, add at this step)
Step 4:
Transfer the pasta in air fryer basket while spreading in a single layer as much as possible. Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 8 to 10 min while shaking the basket after half time. Keep an eye after 8 minutes as cooking time varies from model to model.
(Note: The pasta chips may seem slightly chewy initially when hot but will become crunchy as they cool down.)
Step 5:
Transfer these air fried pasta chips to a bowl. Add 1/2 tsp olive oil along with chilli flakes, black pepper, Italian seasoning to the chips while they are still hot. Toss well.
Adding spices to the pasta while it is still hot ensures that the seasoning sticks to it. Taste & adjust salt or seasoning as per your liking. Enjoy these crunchy bowtie pasta chips with marinara sauce, feta dip, garlic mayo or hummus!!
Tips:
- Don’t overcook the pasta as it will become soft mushy & might not become crunchy on air frying.
- Make sure the pasta is boiled to al dente. If it remains under boiled, the air fryer chips will turn out too hard.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Spread the pasta as much as possible inside the basket for even cooking.
