These Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips are a delicious and healthy snack alternative, featuring full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese blended with flavorful seasonings and baked until golden and crisp. Perfect for those seeking a high-protein, low-carb treat, these chips offer a smoky, savory taste enhanced by optional Parmesan and dried herbs.

Ingredients

Dairy

  • 2 cups cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)

Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (oregano, thyme, or rosemary)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Drain the Cottage Cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Press gently to remove as much excess moisture as possible, which helps the chips crisp better when baked.
  3. Blend the Mixture: Transfer the drained cottage cheese into a food processor. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. If using, add the grated Parmesan cheese and dried herbs of your choice. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth but still retains a bit of texture for a good chip consistency.
  4. Shape the Chips: Using a spoon, scoop heaping teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space each dollop about 1 inch apart. Flatten each one into a thin round shape approximately 2 inches in diameter to ensure even baking and crispiness.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the chips in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp around the edges. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve immediately for best texture, or store in an airtight container for later snacking.

Notes

  • Removing excess moisture from cottage cheese is key to achieving crisp chips.
  • Feel free to customize seasoning to taste, adding chili powder or Italian seasoning for alternative flavors.
  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute cottage cheese with a thick plant-based yogurt, though texture may vary.
  • Store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispiness.
