Description
Discover a healthy and delicious snack with these Cottage Cheese Chips that provide a delightful crunch while being easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or parmesan/mozzarella)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Optional: dried parsley (chili flakes, everything bagel seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Blend the mixture: Add cottage cheese, egg, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend until mostly smooth but still slightly textured.
- Scoop into chips: Use a spoon to drop small mounds onto the baking sheet about 1–2 tablespoons in size. Flatten each mound into a thin circle; the thinner they are, the crispier they will be.
- Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20–30 minutes depending on how crispy you want them. For softer, chewy chips, bake for about 20 minutes; for extra crispy, browned chips, bake for 28–30 minutes.
- Cool completely: Let them cool on the tray for 10 minutes. They will get crispier as they cool down.
- Serve: Enjoy them plain or dip in salsa, ranch, Greek yogurt dip, or guacamole.
Notes
For a delightful crunch, ensure chips are flattened well before baking.
