Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips – A Guilt-Free, High-Protein Snack! Recipe

Introduction

Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips are a delicious, guilt-free snack that’s packed with protein. These crunchy bites make a perfect healthy alternative to traditional chips and are quick to prepare.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: Blend 1 cup of cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
3. Step 3: Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a bowl and stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Step 4: Spoon small dollops of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, then spread each into thin, even circles about 2 inches in diameter.
5. Step 5: If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each chip for extra crispiness and flavor.
6. Step 6: Bake the chips for 25–30 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
7. Step 7: Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them—they will crisp up even more as they cool.

Tips & Variations

• For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
• Try using different herbs like dried oregano or thyme for varied flavors.
• To make them extra crunchy, ensure the cottage cheese is blended until very smooth before mixing.

Storage

Store cottage cheese chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them crispy, avoid refrigeration as moisture can make them soggy. Reheat briefly in a hot oven if needed to regain crunch.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?

Yes, low-fat cottage cheese works well and will still create crispy chips, though full-fat may produce a richer flavor.

How do I prevent the chips from sticking to the baking sheet?

Using parchment paper is key to preventing sticking. Make sure to spread the chips thinly and evenly, and avoid placing them too close together.
