Slowly insert tray into the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch. Turn food half-way through. No need to wait for the “turn food” reminder provided by the Air Fryer. Remove Air Fryer tray. Transfer pasta chips to a bowl or a small plate. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Notes This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing. TIPS: If you do not close the door while turning the pasta chips, the Air Fryer temperate might change. It’s best to close the door and manually adjust the timer as needed. Place pasta in a single later with some space in between. Use dried or slightly undercooked pasta for better results. The texture of the pasta plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect crunchiness of pasta chips. Using dried or slightly undercooked pasta ensures it doesn't become too soft during cooking. Ensure the pasta is well-coated with oil before cooking. Coating the pasta evenly with oil helps in enhancing its flavor and aids in achieving a crispy texture. Make sure to toss the pasta thoroughly with oil before baking or air frying.
