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

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

3. Step 3: Scoop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop. Space each about 2 inches apart, and flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon.
4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Step 6: Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, try adding a tablespoon of finely ground flaxseed or almond flour to the mixture.
• Swap dried herbs with fresh chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme for a more vibrant flavor.
• Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer, creamier texture.
• If you prefer a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.

Storage

Store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to keep them crisp. Avoid refrigerating as moisture can soften them. If needed, reheat briefly in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to regain crispness.

FAQs

Can I use other types of cheese instead of Parmesan?

Yes, you can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano or a sharp aged cheddar for different flavors, but Parmesan’s dryness helps achieve the best crispiness.

Is it necessary to use low-fat cottage cheese?

No, you can use regular or full-fat cottage cheese. Low-fat is suggested for a lighter chip, but full-fat will yield a richer taste and slightly softer texture.

• 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

For Baking

6. Serve and Enjoy: Once fully cooled, serve the crispy cottage cheese chips immediately as a tasty snack or appetizer. Enjoy their savory flavors and delightful texture.

Notes

• Use low-fat cottage cheese to reduce calories without compromising taste.
• Flattening the mounds helps achieve a crispier chip texture.
• Feel free to customize seasoning with chili flakes or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
• Store leftover chips in an airtight container; they are best enjoyed the same day for optimal crispness.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute Parmesan with a vegan cheese alternative, though texture may vary.
