Air Fryer Churro Pasta Chips
Description
This recipe utilizes ordinary pasta cooked just until al dente, which retains a bit of firmness to withstand air frying without becoming too soft. After boiling, the pasta is tossed with unsalted butter, sugar, and cinnamon, coating each piece evenly to provide sweetness and aroma reminiscent of churros.
The coated pasta is then cooked in an air fryer at 400°F for 15-20 minutes. Shaking the basket halfway ensures the chips crisp evenly and develop a golden finish. The drying effect of air frying creates a crispy texture that contrasts with the tender boiled pasta base.
The simple flavor combination of butter and cinnamon sugar makes these pasta chips a fun and unexpected snack or dessert side. They can be served as a crunchy nibble at parties or substitute for traditional churro pastries with a playful twist.
