Cook pancetta in a small skillet over medium low heat until crisp. 

Drain on a paper towel lined plate.

Assemble the nachos by adding 1/2 the Pasta Chips to a 8X8 baking dish or a 9 inch pie pan.

Add whatever antipasto ingredients you want!

 I like roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, green olives, and pepperoncinis. 

For the meat I used the crispy pancetta, pepperoni, and salami. 

Top with 1/2 of the meat, olives, red peppers, artichoke hearts, and pepperoncinis,

 all sprinkled evenly over the Pasta Chips.

Add 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese sprinkled evenly on top.

Now add the remaining Pasta Chips on top.

Add the other half of the pancetta, salami, olives, red peppers, artichoke hearts, 

and pepperoncinis sprinkled all over.

Cover with the Parmesan cheese and the remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese. 

Bake at 300 degrees for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and the chips are warmed.

Top with a sprinkle of chopped basil.

Serve immediately and enjoy.

I decided to make potato chips {jazzed up a bit of course!} in my new AirFryer and see how they turned out without frying them in oil. I received an Avalon Bay Air Fryer for the purpose of this review. This post was made possible by Mom Spark Media. Thoughts are my own.

 

Honestly, I found the AirFryer to be tricky to use and took me a while to figure out. I like the healthy aspect with no oil but even after numerous tries I did not find the chips evenly fried. They would be soft almost soggy in the middle and crisp and dark on the outside. The instruction book recommended tossing them in 1 tbsp oil before cooking and that helped. I also shook the fry basket halfway through and cooked them in even small batches. But I still found I preferred frying with oil with my good ol’ cast iron for the chips. They just had a better crunch and color to them.
But of course then you get the mess {and obviously it’s not as healthy} with frying!

However, there were quite a few things I really enjoyed about the AirFryer.

• It heats up in just 3 minutes, the fry basket is non stick and easy to handle and slide in the machine, and it is quiet and mess free! 
• It worked awesome when I reheated leftover takeout fried food- it stayed crispy instead of soggy and greasy when I put it in the microwave. 
• I am also intrigued by the other uses it advertises including roasting chicken and baking cakes {yep you read that right you can bake with it!}.
• I have read a few other reviews about how easy it is to make homemade tortilla chips with the AirFryer so I plan to try that next! 

Add chips to a large bowl and toss with salt (optional, the cheese has it’s own salty flavor so be light handed with salt or skip altogether). 

Meanwhile, in a small pot add balsamic and heat over med low. Stir often until it bubbles and thickens. Remove from heat.

Add chips to a large platter.
Drizzle cheese sauce with a spoon over chips then add a few drizzles of balsamic over the chips. Sprinkle chips with remaining blue cheese crumbles.
