Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra crispiness)
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the chips.
- Blend the Cottage Cheese: Place 1 cup of cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth to create a batter-like consistency for shaping the chips.
- Mix in Seasonings: Transfer the blended cottage cheese into a bowl and stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Form the Chips: Spoon small dollops of the seasoned mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread each dollop into thin, even circles approximately 2 inches in diameter, shaping the chips.
- Add Parmesan (Optional): Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each dollop if desired to add extra crispiness and flavor.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the chips for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
- Cool & Enjoy: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet; chilling enhances their crispiness before serving.
Notes
- For best results, spread the chips as thin and even as possible to ensure maximum crispiness.
- You can omit the Parmesan cheese to keep the recipe vegetarian or lower in fat.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
- Use low-fat or regular cottage cheese according to preference; texture may vary slightly.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like chili flakes or herbs for varied flavors.
