TikTok Viral Pasta Chips Recipe

Move over baked feta pasta- the newest viral TikTok trend is here, and it’s Pasta Chips! I made this recipe a few months ago, and now it is trending AGAIN. These pasta chips are a fun and innovative way to eat pasta, and you can make it a few different ways!
Pasta chips can be made with any shape of pasta and with your toppings of choice! For my pasta chips, I opted for a bowtie pasta and paired it with a homemade pesto and marinara sauce. I think next time I make them, I will try to pair it with my whipped feta dip! I also made these pasta chips in the Air fryer, but you can also bake them in the oven! See below how to:
Oven Baked Pasta Chips
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes and make sure to flip them halfway.
Now, I am going to be sharing my favorite way to make pasta chips and my homemade pesto recipe! Comment other pasta chip variations you want to see. Enjoy!

The Air Fryer is one of my most frequently used kitchen tools! I love how versatile it is, as I use it for so many different recipes. I actually just made a new recipe using the Air Fryer- it was a bacon-cheddar dip and I made the bacon in it! The bacon turned out crispy and delicious! Find my air fryer recommendations here:
