PROTEIN PASTA CHIPS (Air Fryer)
/This is my high-protein gluten-free spin on the viral TikTok pasta chips. They’re wonderfully crunchy, super easy to make, and bizarrely addictive.
Ingredients:
8 oz (227g) Banza chickpea cavatappi pasta (or your choice of pasta), cooked al dente according to package directions
2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fresh-grated Parmesan (regular or dairy-free)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
optional pizza sauce, marinara sauce, or ranch dressing for dipping
Directions:
Preheat air fryer to 400F.
Drizzle cooked pasta with olive oil and toss.
Add Parmesan and spices and toss again.
Put seasoned pasta in single layer in air fryer (do in batches if needed).
Air fry for 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with your choice of dipping sauce.
Protein Pasta Chips are best eaten the day they’re made. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
