Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 8 oz whole grain pasta (penne, bowtie, rotini, shells)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and transfer the pasta to a mixing bowl to prepare for seasoning.
- Season the Pasta: Add lemon juice to the cooked pasta and mix well to evenly coat. Then add nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is seasoned.
- Air Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spread the seasoned pasta chips evenly in the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to ensure even crisping.
- Oven Method (Optional): Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the seasoned pasta chips in a single layer. Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pasta chips cool for about 10 minutes after cooking to allow them to crisp up further. Serve as a tasty and crunchy snack or appetizer.

- Make sure to shake or flip the pasta chips for even crisping.
