Cook your pasta according to the package directions, but stop cooking it a minute or two before it’s completely done. Drain the pasta well.
Spread the cooked pasta in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel or baking sheet. Let it air dry completely. This usually takes a few hours, or even overnight, depending on your kitchen’s humidity.
For faster drying, you can use a low oven. Preheat your oven to the lowest setting (around 200°F or 95°C). Spread the pasta on a baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes, checking frequently. Take it out when it's dry and firm. Don’t let it burn.
Baking your pasta chips at the right temperature is key. A high temperature (around 400°F or 200°C) helps them get crispy. Start checking after 10 minutes. Your chips are ready when they are golden brown and crispy. This usually takes between 10 and 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
After your pasta chips are baked and cool slightly, it’s time to season them! Sprinkle your seasonings evenly over the chips. Use a light hand at first, then add more if needed. Toss gently to coat all the chips.
To keep your pasta chips crunchy, store them in an airtight container. This prevents them from getting soggy by keeping out moisture from the air.
