Pasta Chips
Pasta chips are relatively easy to make in the air fryer and they're one of my favorite new recipes. You have to do a little work ahead of time, but after that, the air fryer makes quick work of this recipe.
The first time I ever had pasta chips was in one of my favorite Louisiana restaurants. They served them with a hot, cheesy, spinach artichoke dip.
After that, I was hooked.
Not only that, but this was at one time one of the viral recipes from Tik Tok. If you're ever looking for something unique, check all of the viral TikTok recipe options out there. You'll be amazed at what people are making in their air fryers!
Why Should I Use The Air Fryer for Pasta Chips?
The air fryer uses a heating element and a fan that circulates the hot air around the foods you are cooking. Traditionally, if you were making fried pasta chips you would use a deep fryer and lots of oil. That means lots of fat and calories.
With the air fryer, you are simply using circulating hot air which mimics the deep fried taste. It's a win win situation when you are looking to eat with a healthier lifestyle.
TIPS: To make this dish you will need to start off with cooked pasta. You can use your favorite pasta, but my favorite pasta for this recipe is farfalle pasta, which is also known as bow-tie pasta.
Ingredients needed for Air Fryer Pasta Chips

How to make pasta chips in the air fryer
- Cook the raw pasta in two quarts of boiling hot water for about 7-8 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray such as olive oil.
- Carefully drain pasta and then place it into a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Cover the pasta with olive oil, and stir to completely cover the pasta.
- Add the parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to the pasta and stir until well combined.
- Add the pasta chips in a single layer into the air fryer basket.
- Air Fry the pasta chips for 5 minutes and then carefully flip them with a spatula. Air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
- Continue to cook the pasta chips in batches until they are golden brown and completely cooked.
- Serve the air fried pasta chips with marinara sauce or spinach artichoke dip.
NOTE: This recipe was made using a Cosori 5.8qt air fryer. If you're using a different type or size air fryer this recipe may need to be slightly adjusted. Test a small batch of pasta chips in your air fryer to make sure the cooking time is perfect for your brand of the air fryer. Not all air fryers will cook the same. Always test a batch before cooking an entire batch.
Due to the size of the Cosori 5.8qt basket, I was able to cook the 12 ounce package of pasta in 5 batches.
This is such a fun recipe and makes a great snack. Check out more of my favorite tips and tricks below.
