In The Kitchen

If you’re new here, welcome! if you’re familiar with our blog, welcome back! This is our first post in our new section of our blog – In The Kitchen. As our name states, our blog started out as a place to share all of our favorite recipes we make on out Pit Boss Pellet Grill. We are obsessed with smoking foods and love perfecting recipes. Now that it is summer we have decided to start sharing some of our favorite recipes from in the kitchen as well.

Summer? Summer is the perfect time to smoke right? Absolutely! But we live in southern South Carolina where the summers get CRAZY hot and it storms here almost every day for an hour or two. That means we tend to cook more in the kitchen during the week and let me tell you, we make all kinds of food. We are a family of 6 and majority of us are foodies. Our kids will eat all kinds of things from seafood to vegetables so it makes cooking a lot of fun.

While this recipe isn’t anything crazy, it is definitely a fun, new one that I think you’ll enjoy.

TikTok Pasta Chips

Like most people we have a love/hate relationship with social media. It’s all love and absolutely no hate though when it comes to finding new and fun recipes! We stumbled upon these TikTok pasta chips that are made in the air fryer and I just had to try them. As a carb loving American, they looked amazing to me. To make these you simple boil noodles, season, air fry and serve with a delicious sauce (no sauce works too!)

We stumbled upon this recipe and had to perfect it ourselves. What makes these irresistible in the delicious and salty crunch you get in every bite. To get that crunch, you need to cook these just right. Under cooked and they are chewy. Over cooked and they turn to dust in your mouth. It took us a couple rounds but we finally got it just right and wanted to share with you.

How To Make TikTok Pasta Chips

Lets do this! Follow this recipe step by step to make delicious TikTok Pasta Chips in the air fryer.

First start by boiling rigatoni pasta noodles according to the packaging directions. Once they are finished cooking, drain and rinse with cool water. In the meantime you can mix your seasoning. Combine 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning.

Place you drained and rinse pasta into a bowl. Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil over top and toss to fully coat. Next, add the seasonings to your pasta and stir so that all the noodles are seasoned.

Now it’s time to cook! We *highly* suggest cooking this in 2 batches to ensure even cooking on all the noodles. Place half of your noodles in the air fryer and cook for 12-14 minutes at 400 degrees. Be sure to toss the rigatoni half way through so that the noodles cook even. You will know they are done when they start to brown.

Pour the cooked pasta chips in a bowl and repeat the air fryer instructions for batch 2. This batch may cook more quickly since your air fryer is already warmed up. When both batches are finished, serve with a marinara or whipped feta cheese dipping sauce.

Notes

Our family enjoyed these crispy and crunchy. Some do not cook their pasta chips as long as we do and therefore the pasta chips do not turn brown. If you’d prefer a lighter fried chip, reduce cooking time to 10-12 minutes.

Let the chips sit about 5 minutes after completing before enjoying!
