Air Fryer Pasta Chips are made with cooked pasta tossed with olive oil, garlic, and seasonings, then air fried until golden and crispy. Finish them with Parmesan and serve with your favorite dipping sauce for an easy crunchy snack or appetizer.
I made these when pasta chips were everywhere, and they’re such a fun way to turn ordinary pasta into a crunchy snack. I like them best right from the air fryer while they’re still warm and crispy.
