Cheese Mixture
- 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
For Baking
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and evenly distributed.
- Form Chips: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, scoop small mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space each mound about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking, then flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to create chip shapes.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Bake until the edges of the chips are golden brown and crispy, indicating they are cooked through and have developed a satisfying crunch.
- Cool Chips: Remove the baking sheet from oven and let the chips cool on it for a few minutes. Then transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to crisp up further as they cool.
- 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.
