We’ve all been there—scrolling through TikTok late at night, convincing ourselves it’s just “five more minutes.” But then it happens: you stumble upon that viral trend. You know the one—the trend that gets you thinking, This looks fun, but does it actually work? Well, last week, I decided to stop lurking and start trying.
What trend, you ask? The “Pasta Chip” trend! If you’ve been on TikTok even for a second, you’ve probably seen it. The idea is simple: boil pasta, season it, and then air-fry it into crispy, snackable chips. It seemed so crazy that I had to give it a shot. What followed was a rollercoaster of emotions, a very messy kitchen, and a snack I’ll never forget.
How It All Started
Let me paint the picture: it was a lazy Sunday afternoon. I had nowhere to be and all the time in the world to scroll. As I watched TikToker after TikToker rave about how pasta chips were “life-changing” and “addictive,” I couldn’t resist. I’m a pasta lover and a chip enthusiast—what could go wrong?
Spoiler alert: a lot went wrong. But we’ll get to that in a minute.
Step 1: Gathering Ingredients
The beauty of this trend is its simplicity. You don’t need anything fancy to make pasta chips. Here’s what I grabbed:
- Pasta: I went with bowtie pasta because that’s what most TikTokers were using. Plus, they’re cute!
- Olive Oil: To coat the pasta and help it crisp up.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
- Air Fryer: The real star of the show.
Easy enough, right? Feeling confident, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.
Step 2: Cooking the Pasta
This part was straightforward—boil the pasta until it’s al dente. I was practically a pasta-cooking pro at this point. After draining it, I let it cool slightly before tossing it in olive oil and seasonings. The smell was incredible, and I was already imagining my triumphant TikTok-worthy moment.
But here’s where things started to go sideways.
Step 3: Air-Frying Chaos
If you’ve ever used an air fryer, you know it’s supposed to make your life easier. Supposedly. I carefully spread the pasta out in a single layer (because that’s what the pros on TikTok did) and set the timer for 10 minutes at 400°F.
Within five minutes, my kitchen started to smell...burnt. Panicked, I rushed to check the air fryer, only to find that some of my pasta chips had turned into little blackened crisps of sadness. Apparently, bowtie pasta can be a bit tricky because the edges cook faster than the centers. Lesson learned.
Round Two: Redemption
Determined not to let this trend defeat me, I tried again. This time, I lowered the temperature to 375°F and shook the basket halfway through cooking. The result? Perfectly golden, crispy pasta chips that looked (and smelled) like a dream. Victory was mine!
The Taste Test
After letting the pasta chips cool for a minute, I finally took my first bite. And...wow. They were crunchy, flavorful, and oddly satisfying. The garlic and Parmesan combo was chef’s kiss. Honestly, they tasted like a cross between chips and croutons, and I was 100% here for it.
Were they life-changing? Maybe not. But they were definitely snack-changing.
Would I Recommend It?
Absolutely—but with a few tips to save you from the chaos I endured:
- Choose Your Pasta Wisely: Bowtie pasta works, but penne or rigatoni might be even better since they cook more evenly.
- Don’t Skip the Shake: Give the air fryer basket a good shake halfway through to avoid uneven cooking.
- Season Generously: The more flavor, the better. Get creative with your spices!
- Keep an Eye on It: Air fryers cook fast, so don’t walk away for too long.
Why Do These Trends Go Viral?
This whole experience got me thinking: why do we love trying TikTok trends so much? I think it’s the mix of curiosity, community, and just plain fun. There’s something exciting about joining millions of others in experimenting with something new, even if it’s as simple as turning pasta into chips.
Plus, let’s be real—there’s nothing quite like nailing a trend and feeling like you could totally go viral yourself.
Other TikTok Trends I’m Eyeing
After my pasta chip adventure, I’ve got my sights set on a few other viral trends:
- Whipped Coffee (Dalgona): It might not be new, but I still haven’t tried it.
- Cloud Bread: Because who doesn’t want to eat something that looks like a fluffy cloud?
- Ramen Hacks: Adding a raw egg and cheese to instant noodles? Count me in.
If you’ve tried any of these, let me know your tips—I’m determined to avoid another kitchen fiasco.
Final Thoughts
Trying this TikTok trend was messy, fun, and surprisingly rewarding. Sure, it wasn’t all smooth sailing, but that’s part of the charm, right? Life’s too short to take everything seriously, and sometimes, you just need to embrace the chaos (and maybe a little burnt pasta).
So, the next time you’re endlessly scrolling TikTok, don’t just watch—get involved! Who knows? You might stumble upon your new favorite snack, craft, or even hobby.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a bowl of pasta chips calling my name.
