How To Fried Pasta Snacks
Fried pasta snacks are crispy, crunchy and a little chewy. Cook your pasta in salted water according to package instructions, toss it in avocado oil, cheese or nutritional yeast (dairy-free) and seasoning. Crisp them up in the air fryer for 10 mins. It is a quick and simple snack to make that everyone will enjoy - especially the kids!
Can I Make Pasta Chips If I Don't Have An Air-Fryer?
If you don't have an air-fryer, don't worry. Pasta chips can be baked in the oven without an air fryer. Simply pre-heat the oven to 400°F on convection mode. Line the baking sheet, add the seasoned pasta chips tossed in avocado oil and bake it for 20 minutes. Flipping halfway until it is golden brown.
Deep fry the pasta in a swallow pan with oil for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Just remember to drain well over a wired rack or over paper towels.
What Kind Of Pasta Can I Use?
You can use any pasta shapes you want to make pasta chips, but it is best with larger-sized kinds of pasta to avoid burning. I like the following because the hold dip really well:
- Rotini
- Penne
- Bow Ties
- Rigatoni
Pasta Chips Ingredients
All you need are a few simple ingredients.
- Pasta
- Vegetable oil like avocado oil or grape seed oil
- Nutritional Yeast (dairy-free option) or parmesan cheese
- Seasoning - I like to keep it simple with garlic, onion, paprika, salt and pepper.
To make gluten-free or vegan pasta chips, simply swap your regular pasta for gluten-free pasta; and nutritional yeast in place of parmesan cheese!
What Is Nutritional Yeast?
Nutritional yeast is a vegetarian dietary supplement with a pleasantly cheesy flavour. It is rich in vitamin B-12, and provides 8 grams of protein per serving. Add it to sauces, scrambles, kale chips, crackers and biscuits, or sprinkle over vegetables, baked potatoes or popcorn.
Don't Forget the Dip!
Eating pasta chips with dip is amazing. That's why larger sized pasta makes the experience that much better!
- Spicy Gochujang: 2:1 ratio of cashew mayo and Gochujang paste. Personally, I really enjoy spicy pasta chips.
- Whipped Ricotta: lemon zest almond ricotta cheese is light, airy and creamy!
- Tomato Sauce: Heat up some store-bought tomato sauce in a jar, and you're golden.

Which Air Fryer Did You Use?
I used the BLACK+DECKER Crisp ‘N Bake Air Fry Toaster Oven. It has an extra wide panel that fits a 12" pizza!
Air Fry Technology: Deep fried taste without the fat! This innovative cooking method surrounds food with high intensity hot air to bake, brown, and crisp your favorite foods using little to no oil

Convection Heating: The powerful convection fan circulates warm air throughout the oven for fast, even baking. Other functions include: bake, broil, toast, keep food warm, and air fry.

I tried these (in the oven) but I just couldn't bring myself to keep cooking them until crispy, lol. I taste tested as they cooked and stopped before they got crispy. I did not think I'd enjoy them as I didn't care for them with only one side crispy.
