Gochujang Flavored Pasta Chips!

Gochujang Flavored Pasta Chips! This is my spin on the Viral TikTok Trend! So easy to make! They can be made faster in your air fryer but an oven works too! 

Yes, we are here with yet another viral TikTok food trend. These pasta chips are definitely worth trying, and like the tortilla hack, are easily customizable with the flavoring and which pasta you use. Any small shaped pasta you can pick up with your hands will work: penne, rigatoni, bowtie, etc.

I loved using rigatoni because I love the tube like shape of the “chips”. So fun to eat and easy to dip!

Gochujang Flavored Pasta Chips

The original version just uses olive oil, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. I saw a version using Frank’s Red Hot Sauce and knew I had to try my own version using Korean Gochujang, hot pepper paste. If you love Korean food, you know what is condiment is. I have used gochujang countless times in my Korean food recipes, as it is a staple in Korean food cooking. It adds heat, great flavor and a very subtle sweetness, to any dish.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. rigatoni pasta

For the dipping sauce:
