Chips N’ dip are the must when it comes to Dad’s beer time! You can casually whip up these dangerously morish pasta chips from a few pantry staples. Even better served with freshly made avo aioli.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4 as a snack

Ingredients

Pasta chips

1 packet (375g) Diamond Lasagne, cooked per packet instructions

3 tbsp Olivado Avocado Oil & Garlic

1 tbsp dried mixed herbs

1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

salt

Avocado aioli

2 NZ avocados, flesh scooped

1/3 cup aioli

1 small red chilli, de-seeded and chopped

We used a Philips Airfryer XXL Smart to make the pasta chips.

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add salt then pasta, boil for 4 minutes. Drain well. Do not rinse. Leave for a few minutes to let some of the excess moisture evaporate.

  2. Tip the cooked pasta into a large bowl. Drizzle oil and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle mixed herbs and parmesan. Toss well again.

  3. Work in batches, air-fry the pasta at 200°C for 7 minutes. The first batch will take longer. Check if the pasta chips are crispy and edges golden after 7 minutes. If not, cook for a further 2–4 minutes. Add salt to taste.

  4. Avocado aioli: roughly mash avo, aioli and chilli in a bowl until just mixed. Season to taste.

  5. Enjoy the pasta chips with the aioli, and a cold beer!

Tip: If you don’t have an air-fryer, bake the pasta in an oven 200°C for 20–25 minutes, tossing a few times to ensure even cooking.
