Cottage Cheese Chips are a crispy, high-protein snack made by baking seasoned cottage cheese until golden brown. These chips are a healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks, offering a deliciously savory flavor with optional Parmesan cheese for extra richness. Perfect for a low-carb, high-protein diet or a gluten-free treat.

Ingredients

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 cup (256g) whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)

Optional Ingredients

  • Seasonings of your choice (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt)
  • Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chips evenly.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with your choice of seasonings to add flavor. Stir well until evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  4. Spread Mixture: Spread the seasoned cottage cheese mixture evenly on the lined baking sheet in a thin layer to help it crisp up properly during baking.
  5. Add Parmesan (Optional): If you like, sprinkle a generous amount of Parmesan cheese over the top to add a cheesy crust and enhance the flavor.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the baked cottage cheese layer to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break it into chip-sized pieces and serve as a delicious, crunchy snack.
