Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 200 g Rigatoni or other short pasta such as penne
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoon Grated Parmesan
  • ½ teaspoon Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Thyme
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper

Instructions

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta to al dente. This usually means 1-2 minutes less than the specified cooking time on the packet. Drain, rinse under cold water, and pat dry.
    200 g Rigatoni
  • Place the cooked pasta in a large bowl and mix in the grated parmesan, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme. Preheat the air fryer.
    1 tablespoon Olive Oil, 2 tablespoon Grated Parmesan, ½ teaspoon Oregano, ½ teaspoon Thyme, ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Air fry at 200℃ (400°F) for 10 minutes until golden and crispy, making sure the pasta chips are in one single layer in the air fryer basket. Shake halfway through cooking to make sure all sides are equally golden and crunchy. Remove the pasta to a plate lined with a paper towel to get rid of any excess oil.
  • Season with salt and pepper before serving.
    ½ teaspoon Salt, ¼ teaspoon Pepper

Notes

Expert Tips:
  • To ensure the pasta doesn't stick to the air fryer basket, give the base a quick spray of light cooking oil before using.
  • Spread the pasta shapes out so that they are in one layer. You want the air to be able to circulate around each chip. You may need to air fry them in several batches, depending on the size of your air fryer basket.
 
Variations:
Try different seasonings
  • Smoked Paprika
  • Chilli Powder
  • Sea Salt and Vinegar
  • Italian Herb Seasoning
  • Cinnamon Sugar
  • Try gruyere or fontina cheese.
  • Skip the cheese to cut the calories.
 
Storage:
Store - Place leftover pasta chips in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Reheat - Air fry the pasta chips for 2 minutes at 200 degrees C in a preheated air fryer. They can also be eaten at room temperature.
