How to Make It
1. Step
In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar until evenly combined.
2. Step
In a medium bowl, toss the warm pasta with the avocado oil and half of the spice mixture, stirring to coat evenly.
3. Step
Preheat the air fryer to 390˚F (200°F) for 5 minutes.
4. Step
Add the pasta to the air fryer basket and cook for 8 minutes, tossing every 2–3 minutes and watching carefully to avoid burning, until the pasta is beginning to brown and crisp.
5. Step
Return the pasta chips to the same medium bowl and toss with the remaining spice mixture until well coated. Let the pasta chips cool slightly, about 5 minutes. The chips will continue to crisp up as they cool.
