Ingredients
8 oz (225 g) rigatoni pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Marinara sauce, for serving
Directions
1. Cook the rigatoni until al dente, then drain well.
2. Toss the pasta with olive oil, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and arrange the pasta in a single layer in the basket.
4. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Let cool for 2–3 minutes and serve with marinara sauce.
Notes / Tips
Cook the pasta just until al dente. Overcooked pasta can become too hard after air frying.
Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning and crispier chips.
Toss with parmesan immediately after cooking so it sticks better to the hot pasta.
Let the chips cool for 2–3 minutes before serving for maximum crunch.
Do not overcrowd the basket for the crispiest results.

Spicy Version: Toss with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
