Ingredients
  

8 oz. uncooked pasta (preferably bowtie or rotini)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional for spice)

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or basil, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions (usually about 7-9 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

    Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pasta, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss everything gently until the pasta is well coated with the oil and seasonings.

      Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

        Air Fry the Pasta: Once preheated, place the seasoned pasta in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy.

          Serve and Garnish: Remove the crispy pasta chips from the air fryer. Allow them to cool slightly before transferring to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped herbs for added flavor.
