Notes
- The total is estimated based on 6 servings of air fryer pasta chips.
- Store the leftover chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy. They’ll last for about 3 days when stored in a fridge.
- Besides ketchup, I recommend serving your pasta chips with marinara sauce.
- If you’re a fan of cheese, feel free to sprinkle the chips with extra grated Parmesan.
- On the other hand, you can cut down on the cheese or omit it entirely if you want a less calorie-dense dish.
- The pasta will cook more evenly if they’re relatively similar in size.
- Rotini, rigatoni, penne, and fusilli are all great choices for making pasta chips. Avoid using long pasta (tagliatelle, capellini, and so on).
