Baked pasta chips deliver irresistible crunch and bold flavor from garlic, paprika, oregano, chili flakes, and a touch of Parmesan or nutritional yeast. Enjoy easy prep—cook pasta, toss with olive oil and seasonings, then bake until golden and crispy. Customize the taste by swapping in your favorite spice blends or dipping sauces. Ideal as a vegetarian snack or party appetizer, these chips provide a crispy texture and savory burst that pairs well with hummus, marinara, or yogurt dip. Make it vegan by using nutritional yeast.
