Pesto Pasta Chips
I don’t really pay attention to viral food trends on tiktok, but I had to try out “Pasta Chips”. I love savory snacks, especially crunchy ones so I couldn’t wait to make Pesto Pasta Chips happen. I picked up a bag of pasta and my favorite pesto at the grocery store and combined it with some grated parmesan to create a fun new snack!
You boil the pasta before you air fry. Then if you let it cool, it creates a nice crunchy texture – perfect for snacking.
Are Pasta Chips healthy?
Since you are air frying these and not deep frying them like regular potato or tortilla chips, they are a bit healthier.
How do you make Pasta Chips?
INSTRUCTIONS
- Put a pot of water to boil with a 1/2 tsp of salt. Once the water is boiling, add your pasta
- Drain the pasta and add it to a large bowl
- Add pesto and parmesan cheese to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Preheat an airfryer at 390F. Once it is preheated, add the pasta in a single layer and cook for 12 minutes. Shake a few times during the cooking process to ensure even cooking.
- Let it cool slightly. The more it cools, the crunchier it becomes. Dip in your favorite sauce.
