Ingredients
– 8 ounces dried pasta (such as penne, rigatoni, or fusilli)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the dried pasta into thin, 1/4-inch slices. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even, consistent slices.
3. In a large bowl, toss the sliced pasta with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until the pasta is evenly coated.
4. Spread the seasoned pasta slices in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta chips are crispy and golden brown, flipping them halfway through the baking time.
6. Remove the baked pasta chips from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese.
7. Let the pasta chips cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these crispy, flavorful bites as a snack or appetizer!
Notes
For extra flavor, try experimenting with different seasoning blends, such as Italian herbs, ranch seasoning, or even a touch of cayenne pepper. The pasta chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh and crispy.
