Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. You want your pasta to be al dente.

Place the pasta and remaining ingredients back in the pasta pot and stir to coat the pasta.

Place the pasta in the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes opening to give the pasta chips a shake halfway through to make sure they’re all crunchy and golden.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Pasta Thoroughly 💧
Pat cooked pasta completely dry with paper towels before air frying to eliminate excess moisture and achieve maximum crispiness without sogginess.
Toss in Melted Butter First 🧈
Coat pasta with melted butter before adding cinnamon-sugar mixture to ensure even distribution and help the coating adhere properly for consistent flavor.
Don't Overcrowd the Basket 🗑️
Arrange pasta in a single layer without overlapping to allow hot air circulation; work in batches if needed for uniformly crispy chips.
Add Cinnamon-Sugar After Cooking ✨
Dust the warm pasta chips with cinnamon-sugar immediately after air frying while they're still hot, so the coating sticks and caramelizes slightly for authentic churro flavor.
Use Short Pasta Shapes 🍝
Choose smaller pasta like rigatoni, penne, or elbow instead of long shapes for better crispiness, easier handling, and more uniform cooking in the air fryer.
