Here is a simple and detailed recipe for Cottage Cheese Chips. These are crunchy, high-protein, low-carb snacks that are easy to make at home.
Cottage Cheese Chips (Baked)
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional add-ins: dried herbs (oregano, basil), chili flakes
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Prepare the mixture
- In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
- Add the egg and blend again until fully combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl.
- Add Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 3: Shape the chips
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten each scoop into a thin circle using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
- Leave space between each chip, as they will spread slightly.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Flip the chips carefully and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until crisp.
Step 5: Cool and serve
- Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- The chips will crisp up more as they cool.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Tips for Best Results
- Make sure the chips are very thin for maximum crispiness.
- If the mixture is too wet, add a little more Parmesan.
- Baking time may vary depending on thickness, so keep an eye on them.
