Crunchy pasta bites seasoned with olive oil, Parmesan, and herbs, cooked to golden perfection in an air fryer.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Pasta
01 - 9 oz short pasta (penne, rigatoni, or farfalle)
→ Seasonings
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
04 - 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
05 - 1/2 tsp paprika
06 - 1/2 tsp salt
07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
→ Cheese
08 - 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
# How to Make It:
01 - Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the pasta until just al dente according to package directions. Drain and pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper until uniformly coated.
03 - Add grated Parmesan cheese to the pasta mixture and toss gently to distribute evenly.
04 - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F if required by the model specifications.
05 - Arrange the pasta in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through to ensure even crisping, until golden and crispy.
06 - Allow the pasta chips to cool slightly before serving. Pair with preferred dips such as marinara or pesto.
