For this delightful crunchy pasta chips recipe, start with fusilli, ensuring it’s cooked al dente according to the package directions. You’ll then need olive oil to give the chips that perfect crispiness. To season, have garlic powder and Italian seasoning on hand for that classic herby taste.

It’s most often described as nutty, cheesy, or creamy, making it popular as a cheese substitute in vegan cooking. It also adds a savory, umami quality to dishes.
How to Make Crispy Crunchy Oven-Baked Pasta Chips
Creating these oven-baked pasta chips is a breeze and a fun alternative to traditional snacks.
Begin by preheating your oven to a robust 400° F. Prepare your sheet pan by giving it a quick spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Take your cooked and drained pasta—12 ounces of fusilli works wonders—and place it into a large bowl.
Now comes the flavor: toss the pasta with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, fine sea salt, and nutritional yeast for that irresistible cheesy taste without the cheese.
Once well-coated, spread the pasta on your prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring each piece has its own space to crisp up. Slide the sheet into your oven and let the pasta bake for 30-40 minutes.
You’ll know it’s done when each piece is golden and crispy to the touch.
Serve these chips immediately while they’re warm, fresh and crunchy. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce or a classic marinara for dipping pleasure.
Enjoy a batch of these oven-baked delights as a fun snack that’s a sure fire win with kids and adults alike.
Can I make these pasta chips in the air fryer?
You can cook in the air fryer at 400° F for 10-12 minutes. Toss a few times during the cooking process.
Can I make this recipe gluten free?
Yes, it’s easy to make this a gluten free recipe – just substitute gluten free pasta for regular. Be sure not to overcook the pasta or it’ll be too soft to crisp up properly in the oven.
Can you store leftover pasta chips in the fridge?
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They’ll lose a lot of their crispiness, however. To re-crisp, you can pop them in the oven at 400 degrees for two or three minutes on a baking sheet.
