Cook the pasta in salted water according to package directions, stopping 1 to 2 minutes before it reaches al dente.
Drain the pasta and spread it on a baking sheet or clean kitchen towel. Allow it to dry for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the pasta to a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the garlic salt and Italian seasoning over the pasta and toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Add the Parmesan cheese and toss until the pasta is fully coated.
Arrange the pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary.
Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the pasta is golden brown and crisp.
Serve immediately.
Christina's Notes
Work in batches for the crispiest results and to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
Letting the pasta dry slightly after draining helps prevent sogginess.
Sprinkle on a little extra Parmesan halfway through cooking for additional flavor.
Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, garlic aioli, or whipped feta dip.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Re-crisp in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes before serving if needed.
