Once you’ve prepared your ingredients, you’re ready to whip up some crunchy pasta chips.

Step 1: Start by boiling the pasta in salted water to get the perfect al dente texture.

Step 2: Once the pasta is cooked, toss them in olive oil. Afterwards, spread them evenly on a tray and season them with a seasoning of your choice.

Step 3: Then, place the pasta into the air fryer for seven to 10 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius, or place them into the oven for roughly 20 minutes at 180 degrees.

Step 4: Once they’re cooked to perfection, just allow your pasta chips to cool slightly before serving with your favourite dipping sauce!
