Ingredients
– 8 ounces of uncooked pasta (preferably small shapes like shell or elbow)
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder
– 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
– ½ teaspoon of salt
– ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
– Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Making Pasta Chips is quick and straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente, usually 6-8 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. Preheat the Oven: While the pasta is cooling, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled pasta. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated.
4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned pasta evenly across the sheet in a single layer.
5. Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta turns golden brown and crispy. Make sure to stir halfway through for even cooking.
6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes. They will become even crispier as they cool.
7. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chips while they are still warm for an extra flavor boost.
