I made the internet-famous air fryer pasta chips and they are my new favorite snack! I served them at my Superbowl party and they were the talk of the game and were gone way before potato chips, Dorritos, or other appetizers. So easy and cheap to make, yet perfectly crispy and crunchy with a delicious “million dollars” experience.
This Air fryer pasta chips recipe is beyond versatile and goes great with various dipping sauces. May I recommend this delicious homemade Chipotle dipping sauce? It is creamy, garlicky, has a good amount of chipotle heat, and goes great with any sides, like Air fryer French fries. In this case, it went delish with pasta chips.
How to make Air Fryer Pasta Chips.
For this delicious fried pasta snack, boil your favorite pasta, as you would normally do. I used Barilla Rigatoni pasta for this recipe and I cooked it for 12 minutes to Al dente.
Drain pasta and place it into a mixing bowl.
Now it’s time to add flavor to your noodles and season your pasta. I seasoned mine with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, and a tablespoon of oil.
Give the noodles a good stir to ensure they are fully covered in oil and spices.
Finally, place the noodles in the air fryer basket (or tray) and spread them out into an even layer.
Cook at 390 degrees F (198C) on Airfry setting for 6 minutes. Open the air fryer, give noodles a good mix, stir or shake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until pasta chips are golden and crispy.

Wow these came out so crunchy. Kids loved them
Yum! Glad you enjoyed it.
In the introductory text, you specify “1 teaspoon Italian seasoning”. Then in the Ingredients list within the recipe box, you write “1/2 Italian seasoning”. Which is it – 1 teaspoon or 1/2 (what)?
How long would you cook these in a regular oven for? And at what temp?
Hi! Love the recipe! Just wondering about the Parmesan cheese. Do you use the kind that comes in a shaker(Kraft) or pre-shredded?? Thanks!!
Hi Jess. I used the Grated or shredded Parmesan which I already purchased in the container. Made by Digiorno. It is similar to Kraft shaker. You can also use freshly shredded.
