    Tips

    • Salt the pasta boiling water like you mean it, or toss the pasta with salt just before you air fry. Failure to adhere to this would result to a bland pasta chips, trust me it is not the best.
    • Season the pasta with any spices or herbs of choice
    • Make sure to shake the air fryer basket a couple of times so that the pasta browns evenly. The chips can be chewy if underdone. This leads me to my next point, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, if need be air fryer the chips in batches.
    • Make this recipe gluten free by using gluten free pasta. Cook it according to the instruction on the packet but make sure not to overcook it.

    Storage instructions

    These chips are best served and eaten on the day it is made, however, if you have any leftovers, store it in an airtight container for up to 3 days on the countertop.

    How to make pasta chips without an air fryer

    You can make pasta chips in the conventional oven, make sure to preheat the oven first as you want the chips to be crispy. Bake in the oven at 200C/400F for 20 to 30 minutes flipping once so it cooks evenly or until golden brown, crunchy but not burnt.
