Air Fryer Pasta Chips Are a Tasty New Food Trend That's Actually Worth Trying
TikTok has a remarkable way of taking everyday foods to the next level.
In a recent trend, for instance, someone shared a frothy spin on a classic summer drink with a fun whipped lemonade recipe. A few months before that, users on the platform decided that eggs were due for an upgrade and pesto eggs—a genius combo of the breakfast necessity and the savory green sauce—changed mornings forever.
The newest TikTok trend taking the internet by storm involves a fan-favorite for just about everyone: pasta! (Because who doesn't love carbs?) With pasta chips, you can take the classic pantry staple straight to crunchy heaven without even using a pan. Yup, people are actually air-frying pasta. The end result? Crispy, cheesy, bite-sized snacks that just might be your new obsession.
"Air fryer pasta chips are the perfect little snack for after work or for guests," says TikTok user Emily Chan (@bostonfoodgram), before breaking down her recipe step by step. "Boil the pasta, add grated parmesan, olive oil, garlic powder, onion power, and combine everything together. Pop them in the air fryer for 7 minutes, flipping them at 5 minutes. They come out golden brown and crispy."
In the end of her video, which has racked up more than 2 million views, Emily demonstrates how crunchy the tasty chips are by taking a bite: "Just listen to this crunch!"
Thousands of other TikTokers have jumped on the bandwagon—including Maddison Peel, who goes by @maddisonskitchen on the platform. She used rigatoni for her version and, like many others, opted for marinara as a dipping sauce for the chips. Sounds like the perfect flavor combo!
