Cottage Cheese Chips Recipe

These crispy and high-protein cottage cheese chips are a great alternative to regular chips. They are easy to make, gluten-free, and packed with flavor!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 30-40 minutes

Total Time: 35-45 minutes

Servings: 2-3

Ingredients:

1 cup (250g) cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan (optional, for extra crispiness)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese

For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender for 30-60 seconds until creamy. (You can skip this step if you prefer a more textured chip.)

Step 3: Season the Mixture

Mix the cottage cheese with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Parmesan (if using).

Step 4: Spread on the Baking Sheet

Using a spoon or spatula, spread small dollops (about 1-2 teaspoons each) of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet.

Flatten them as thinly as possible (about 1/8 inch thick) to ensure crispiness.

Step 5: Bake Until Crispy

Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy.

If they are still soft, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes while keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet before removing them.

They will crisp up further as they cool.

Serve as a snack or with dips like hummus, guacamole, or Greek yogurt dip.

Tips for the Best Cottage Cheese Chips:

Blend well for a smoother, more uniform texture.

Use full-fat cottage cheese for crispier chips.

Spread thinly to ensure even baking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
