If you are on TikTok then I am sure you have heard of the trending pasta chips! The ones that are trending use spices such as garlic powder, black pepper, Italian seasoning, oregano & parmesan cheese – I have not tried it that way but since I had Fusilli Pasta in my pantry, I decided to turn them into my own version called Fritos Style Sweet Chilli Pasta Chips – they are basically a mimic of Fritos Sweet Chilli Chips.

Now before you come at me, I know Fritos is made with corn & yes the texture of the pasta chips can’t relate but let me just say I absolutely got the sweet chilli seasoning on point so the flavouring is 100% there. I wasn’t a fan of the pasta chips itself as mine did get a bit charred here & there so always check on them in between to avoid them from becoming burnt.

I do however feel like this seasoning will go well with some potato chips which I’m definitely going to try.
