Instructions

Preheat air-fryer to 390℉.

Cook pasta according to package directions, undercooking them by a minute or two.

When cooked, drain but do not rinse the pasta.

Place pasta in a large bowl and drizzle with oil, tossing to coat all of the pasta completely. Add a bit more oil, if needed.

Sprinkle half of the garlic salt and Italian seasoning on the pasta, stir well and add the remaining half, ensuring all of the pasta is seasoned.

Add the Parmesan cheese and stir to coat the pasta completely.

Add the pasta to the air-fryer basket and bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring at least once halfway through the cooking time.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Break Pasta Into Optimal Pieces 🍝
Break pasta into 1-2 inch pieces before air frying to ensure even cooking and maximum crunchiness without burning the smaller fragments.
Dry Your Pasta Thoroughly 💧
After boiling pasta until just al dente, drain and pat completely dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which prevents oil absorption and ensures superior crispness.
Season Before Air Frying 🧄
Toss pasta pieces with oil and seasonings (parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic salt) before placing in the air fryer rather than after, so flavors adhere properly during cooking.
Single Layer for Golden Results ✨
Arrange pasta in a single layer in your air fryer basket without overlapping, then shake the basket halfway through cooking at 350°F to ensure even, golden browning on all sides.
Cool Before Serving for Extra Crunch 🎯
Allow pasta chips to cool for 2-3 minutes on a paper towel after air frying to complete the crisping process and achieve that satisfying, snappy texture similar to traditional potato chips.
