Ingredients
  

8 oz (250g) pasta (fusilli or bowtie works best)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional for serving)

Fresh herbs for garnish (basil or parsley)

Instructions
 

Cook Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook it for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. You want it to be slightly undercooked to ensure it crisps up well. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process.

    Season Pasta: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the seasoning.

      Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

        Arrange Pasta: Place the seasoned pasta in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

          Air Fry the Pasta: Air fry the pasta for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until they are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as cooking times can vary based on the air fryer model.

            Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the pasta chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still warm.

              Garnish: Serve the pasta chips warm, garnished with fresh herbs for added flavor and a pop of color.
