Cook 2 cups of bowtie pasta in salted boiling water until just shy of al dente, about 1 minute less than package instructions.

Drain the pasta and let it cool completely, patting dry with a clean towel to remove any excess moisture.

Place the cooled pasta in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, tossing until evenly coated.

Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl.

Toss the pasta gently until all the seasonings are evenly distributed across the bowtie pieces.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 2-3 minutes.

Place the seasoned pasta in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.

Remove the pasta chips from the air fryer once golden and crispy, letting them cool for 1-2 minutes to firm up further.

Serve immediately with your favorite dips, such as marinara sauce, ranch, or pesto.
