Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  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.
