Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 lasagna noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Parmesan cheese, for topping
- Marinara sauce, for dipping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 lasagna noodles, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt to taste, Parmesan cheese for topping, and marinara sauce for dipping.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the lasagna noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
- Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow them to cool for a few minutes.
- After the noodles have cooled, cut each lasagna noodle into 1-2 inch wide strips. This will help them crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut lasagna noodles, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure it’s hot enough for cooking.
- Once preheated, arrange the seasoned lasagna noodle strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd the basket, as this will prevent them from crisping up properly. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the lasagna strips for about 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
- Once the pasta chips are golden brown and crispy, carefully remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot pasta chips while they are still warm, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
- Serve the air fryer lasagna pasta chips immediately with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy your delicious Italian-inspired snack!
