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.
