# What You'll Need:

→ Coating
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 1 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1 tsp Italian seasoning
06 - ¼ tsp smoked paprika

# How To Make It:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until just al dente, following package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to halt cooking. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooled pasta with olive oil until evenly coated.
03 - Incorporate Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper into the pasta. Toss thoroughly to ensure an even coating.
04 - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
05 - Arrange the pasta in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary. Air fry for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the pasta is golden and crisp.
06 - Remove the crispy pasta chips and let them cool slightly before serving. Optionally serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
