Ingredients

  • 2 cups farfalle bowtie pasta (or any small pasta)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and let the pasta sit for 2 minutes to dry slightly.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer:
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  • Season the Pasta:
  • Transfer the drained pasta to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt, and mix until evenly combined.
  • Air Fry the Pasta:
  • Place the pasta in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Flip the pasta and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Cool and Serve:
  • Transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined plate and break apart any stuck-together pieces. Let the chips cool completely to crisp up further, then serve with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy on their own.

Notes

  • Batch Cooking: If your air fryer is small, cook the pasta in batches to ensure even crisping.
  • Flavor Variations: Experiment with different seasonings, such as chili powder for spice or Parmesan and garlic for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to restore crispness.
