- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions and drain thoroughly.
- Place it in a bowl and add the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, nutritional yeast, salt, and spices. Mix with clean hands to coat the pasta evenly.
- Spread the macaroni in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Cook in two batches if necessary, as this space is essential for achieving a crispy texture.
- Air fry at 190 °C for 14 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Adjust the cooking time if needed, depending on your air fryer.
- Allow to cool slightly for an even crunchier texture, and enjoy!
