Steps to make baked pasta chips
To prepare baked pasta chips, first, put a pot with water and coarse salt on the stove. When it comes to a boil, add the pasta. In this case, I chose rigatoni, but you can choose any type of pasta you prefer and cook it for the time specified on the package, but it should be al dente because it will cook for another 20 minutes in the oven. After the cooking time, drain the pasta and place it in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of sweet paprika, a touch of hot paprika, 1 pinch of salt, 1 pinch of black pepper, and a touch of ground turmeric.
You can decide the amount of spices based on the flavor you want to give to the dish. Mix well. Now take a baking tray, line it with parchment paper, and spread the pasta on it, trying to keep it well spaced.
Preheat the convection oven to 392°F and bake the pasta for 20 minutes. It should become golden and crispy. Remove the pasta from the oven, let it cool a bit, then serve it. If you want, you can pair it with a slightly spicy sauce or barbecue sauce.
Storage and Tips
You can store the pasta in the refrigerator for one day, and if you want to reheat it, you can briefly microwave it or put it back in the oven.
You can choose the spices you prefer and the amount according to your taste, and you can choose the pasta shape you like the most.
