Air Fryer Cool Ranch Pasta Chips are the latest post with the Tiktok Viral real made with the now-famous Pasta Chips!

I wanted to create a great and delicious version for all of my readers and really give them a GREAT recipe. This is one of my favorites, made with a homemade Cool Ranch Seasoning Mix.

I made a great version the other day with simple Italian seasoning, and my kids were begging for more, so I wanted to mix up these flavors. Since my youngest son Jason is a HUGE Cool-Ranch Dorito Fan, I made this homemade batch. And he loved it!

Place in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 8 minutes. Stop halfway through to shake the air fryer basket to evenly crisp the pasta. Let sit in the air fryer for 2 minutes after cooking.

Remove from the air fryer and add to a bowl or platter. Serve with queso cheese dip and enjoy!

Pro Tips:

You can prepare this recipe with any pasta shape. Today, I used a simple bow-tie pasta, but I have made the same version with penne, ziti, and even broken-up lasagna noodles.
You can change out this recipe and the seasonings for what every one of your favorites is. This will be a great recipe with even simple salt and black pepper.
This recipe will work in any Air Fryer, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex Plus, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and even the Meathly Lid.
A sprinkle of grated or shredded Parmesan cheese could be added if desired.

Is this recipe spicy?

No, although at the end, I added some sliced-up jalapeno peppers. This is a very mild spice. If you would like additional spicy flavor, you can add in some hot sauce or buffalo sauce. Of course, you can also sprinkle them some cayenne pepper, right before serivng.

Can I use gluten-free pasta?

Yes, you can. You can make this recipe with any pasta, including low-carb, KETO-Friendly, and of course Glutren=Free Pasta.

The cook time made be different, depending on which pasta you purchase and use. For best results, follow the directions on the box.

How long will these last?

I love these right after you make them. I noticed that as they cool down, they become harder.

For best results, if you have any leftover place them into an aright container, and place at room temperature, they will last between 1 to 2 days. If you want to add some freshness to them, toss them into the air fryer right before serving.
