# How to Make It:

01 - Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add gluten-free pasta and cook until just al dente according to package instructions. Drain thoroughly using a sieve or colander, then spread the pasta on a tray to dry for 10 minutes.
02 - Set the air fryer to 200°C and allow it to preheat.
03 - Toss the dried pasta with olive oil in a mixing bowl until all pieces are evenly coated.
04 - Arrange the oiled pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chips are crisp and golden.
05 - While the pasta cooks, thoroughly combine dried dill, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, dehydrated or freeze-dried pickles, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
06 - In a food processor or blender, blend avocado, yogurt, lemon juice, fresh dill, chives, garlic powder, and salt and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and chill until serving.
07 - Once the chips are golden and crisp, tip them into a large bowl. Sprinkle with the dill-pickle seasoning and toss to coat evenly.
08 - Present the seasoned pasta chips warm or at room temperature alongside the avocado-yogurt dip.
