If you’re a foodie and an avid TikTok user, chances are you’ve come across the latest viral food trend—Pasta Chips! So we’re showing you how to make these addictive pasta chips at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of pasta (rigatoni, penne, or farfalle work best)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by boiling a pot of water and cooking the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the cooked pasta and set it aside.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Olive oil will give the pasta chips a golden, crispy texture when baked.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and chili flakes (if using) to the pasta. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Toss the pasta again until all the seasonings are well distributed.
- Spread the seasoned pasta in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that the pasta pieces are not overcrowded, as this will help them crisp up evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the pasta for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
- Once the pasta chips are out of the oven, transfer them to a serving bowl and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor. Serve them immediately, and watch them disappear within seconds!
