Kitchen Guide
- → How do you achieve extra crunch?
Air fry the seasoned pasta at 200°C (400°F) for 12–14 minutes instead of baking for even more crispiness.
- → What dips pair well with pasta chips?
Marinara, hummus, or a tangy yogurt dip all complement the savory flavors of the chips.
- → Can I make these vegan?
Yes, substitute Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast or another plant-based alternative.
- → What pasta shapes work best?
Short shapes like rigatoni, penne, and farfalle hold up well and crisp nicely when baked.
- → Are other seasonings suitable?
Experiment with blends such as ranch, zaatar, or your favorite spice mix to customize flavor.
- → How should the pasta be prepped before baking?
Cook until just al dente, drain very well, and pat dry for best textural results when seasoned and baked.
