Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as oregano or Italian seasoning)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix the ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well blended.
- Form the chips: Use a spoon or a small ice cream scoop to drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space each mound about 2 inches apart and flatten them slightly using the back of the spoon to shape them into chip-like discs.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the chips become crispy.
- Cool the chips: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they crisp up fully.
- Serve: Once cooled, serve your crispy cottage cheese chips as a savory, high-protein snack and enjoy!
Notes
- Use low-fat cottage cheese to reduce calories while maintaining protein content.
- Make sure to flatten the mounds evenly for uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; chips may lose crispness over time.
- Customize your herbs and spices to vary flavor; paprika or cayenne can add a spicy kick.
- Ensure chips cool fully before storing to prevent sogginess.
