Air Fryer Pasta Chips

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni according to the package directions until al dente. Drain well and let the pasta cool for 3–5 minutes to remove excess moisture.

Transfer the cooked pasta to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until every piece of pasta is evenly coated.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the pasta is golden brown and crispy. Depending on your air fryer size, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Transfer the crispy pasta chips to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately with warm marinara, ranch, garlic aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
