Ingredients
-
8 oz (about 2 cups) pasta (such as rotini or farfalle)
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
-
Melt the butter and stir in the sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
-
Pour the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cooked pasta and toss to coat evenly.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
-
Place the coated pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
-
Air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the pasta chips are golden and crispy.
-
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
-
For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular melted butter.
-
Ensure the pasta is well-coated with the cinnamon-sugar mixture for even flavor.
-
If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the butter with a light spray of cooking oil.
