We love trying out viral tiktok trends like the Nerds Ropes. My college age daughter has been dying to try the viral TikTok Pasta Chips trend with our air fryer. After making a few batches, she is obsessed with this new snack.
She’s always loved stealing some uncooked pasta while I’m making pasta. She loves that crunch, so we thought she’d probabl love the crunch of making pasta chips.

What do Pasta Chips taste like?
They taste like crackers!
What kind of pasta can you use?
I would recommend any smaller pasta like penne, farfalle (bowties), fusilli or rotini as opposed to spaghetti or fettuccine.
What do you need to make pasta chips?
You don’t need much, and you probably already have what you need in the pantry. Here’s what we used:
- a box of pasta
- olive oil
- spices (oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper)
How do you make pasta chips in the air fryer?
Boiled the pasta as directed on the box.
Drain the pasta thoroughly and toss in olive oil.
You want there to be an even layer of pasta in the air fryer, so we only use half the pasta at a time to make the pasta chips. We have a big 8-qt air fryer, so you may need to take even less than 1/2 the pasta.
Take just half the pasta and add the oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper as well as 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese and toss.
If you have to use less than 1/2 the pasta, just eyeball your spices. You can also add additional ones like red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning.
Cook in air fryer for 12-15 minutes at 400 F.
Remove from the air fryer and toss again with the last tablespoon of parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately.
Store leftovers for 4-5 days in a sealed container.
