TikTok strikes again!

I never thought I’d be so happy that the older sons introduced me to the app, but our lives have taken a seriously delicious turn for the better since they did.

Ingredients

Lasagna noodles – If you like, you can spice these up a bit and use other flat, wide pasta shapes. Farfalle is a family favorite! You could also use colored pasta for added presentation at parties or get togethers.
Extra virgin olive oil – If you only have canola oil, you could use that instead.
Parmesan cheese – This helps give them some added crunch and salty flavor.
Seasonings – Dried oregano, dried basil, garlic salt, and onion powder.

How to make

To start, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Once boiling, add in the broken lasagna pieces and stir to prevent them from sticking together.

Allow the pasta to cook for about 4 to 5 minutes and then drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Add the remaining ingredients and gently toss until everything’s evenly coated.

As you do this, try to keep the seasonings from sticking together so that each piece gets some of the flavor.

When the noodles are ready, lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non stick cooking spray and then add half the seasoned pasta to the basket.

Set the temperature to 390° and let the pasta cook for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, use a pair of tongs to gently stir the pasta around.

Return the basket to the unit and cook at the same temperature for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the pasta chips are golden brown and slightly crunchy.

For best results, check it at both the 4 & 5 minute mark to see if they are done. This can help prevent burning.

Dump the first batch of lasagna to waiting plate and then repeat the process with the remaining pasta.

Serve the hot chips while they are still warm with a side of cool marinara, warm Alfredo sauce, or your favorite dip.

No air fryer, no worries!

If you don’t have an air fryer, no worries! You can easily bake these in the oven.

(But I will say, if you don’t have one, you should definitely pick one up. They are worth every penny!)

To bake them, boil them for an extra minute and then spread them out in a single layer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Bake them at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until the chips are slightly crunchy and golden brown.

You don’t want them too hard, so be careful not to over-bake them.

I suggest checking them around 20 minutes to make sure they don’t burn.

Serving and storing

These Italian styled “chips” go great with a side of marinara sauce or Alfredo.

You could also use pesto sauce, an Alfredo and pesto blend, a cheese sauce, or really just about any one of your favorite dips.

They make a great snack that you can serve just about any time of year, but they will make a great appetizer at your next barbecue.

To store, allow them to cool completely.

Once they are cool, place them in an airtight container or bag.

You can store them for up to a week on the counter or in the pantry.

Tips and tricks

These lasagna chips are arguably an Italian flavor, but there is no reason you can’t shake things up a bit. You can substitute Mexican or Southwestern seasonings, some Asian spices, or use your favorite BBQ rub. Really just about any spice combination you like can change the flavor and make these tasty chips your own!
Dips can make these chips even better! We have tried everything from marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, pesto, basil garlic aioli, hummus, sour cream and onion dip, and tzatziki sauce. And that is just a few of the different dips we’ve tried! So have fun and experiment.
Don’t forget to boil the noodles first. If you don’t they will just burn in the air fryer.
Towards the end of frying them, make sure to check them more frequently to prevent burning.
Have fun with shapes and colors. You can use other flat pastas or even try colorful pasta options.
