Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips

These Cottage Cheese Chips are a fun, healthy, and protein-rich snack with a delightfully cheesy flavor and a crunchy texture. Whether enjoyed solo or paired with a dip, they’re a unique twist on traditional chips that you’ll want to make again and again.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat works best for a richer taste)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Herbs like chives, dill, or parsley for added flavor

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture

  • In a medium bowl, mix together:
  • Cottage cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • For a smoother, chip-like texture, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before adding the other ingredients.

3. Spoon onto the Baking Sheet

  • Use a teaspoon to drop small mounds of the mixture onto the parchment paper.
  • Spread each mound into thin rounds about 1-2 inches in diameter. Leave enough space between chips to allow them to crisp up.

4. Bake the Chips

  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are firm.
  • For extra crunch, flip the chips halfway through the baking process.

5. Cool and Serve

  • Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up.
  • Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Enjoy immediately or pair with your favorite dips like hummus, salsa, or guacamole.
