Upcycle Pasta for a Snack - Upcycle Your Pantry challenge, powered by Compass One Healthcare - Day 7 Tip
Published
Pasta is a beloved staple and often the foundation of a hearty meal. But did you know you can transform your leftover, cooked pasta into a tasty and healthy snack? Today we’re bringing you a twist — pasta chippies!
Pasta chippies are delicious, crispy bites that can replace snacks like potato chips, which are usually loaded with salt, fat, and other unhealthy ingredients. It’s an excellent way to upcycle pasta while lowering your sodium intake.
To make pasta chippies, take your cooked pasta (preferably flat varieties like bowtie or farfalle) and season it with your choice of a salt-free seasoning blend. Adding your own seasoning allows you to control the flavors without adding extra salt. Pop the pasta into an air fryer or oven for about 6 minutes, until it’s nice and crispy.
If you love the taste of salt on your snacks but want to keep them low-sodium, add a touch of citrus zest (like lemon) after cooking. This creates a satisfying, homemade snack perfect for movie nights or any time your cravings strike.
Pasta chippies are one example of how you can upcycle pantry items into delightful, healthier alternatives.
