These Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips are a delicious, protein-packed snack that combines creamy cottage cheese with savory seasonings and optional herbs and Parmesan for extra flavor. Baked to golden perfection, they offer a crunchy texture that’s perfect for dipping or enjoying on their own as a low-carb alternative to traditional chips.

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 make cleanup easier.
  2. Drain the Cottage Cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a fine mesh sieve or wrap it in cheesecloth and press gently to remove excess moisture. This step helps the chips to become crispy rather than soggy.
  3. Blend the Mixture: Transfer the drained cottage cheese to 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. Blend the mixture until it’s mostly smooth but still has a bit of texture to give the chips a nice bite.
  4. Shape the Chips: Using a spoon, scoop heaping teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them about 1 inch apart. Flatten each dollop into a thin, round chip roughly 2 inches in diameter for even baking and crispiness.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until the chips turn golden brown and become crisp around the edges.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet; they will crisp up further as they cool. Serve immediately for the best texture or store them in an airtight container if saving for later.

Notes

  • Draining the cottage cheese well is crucial for crispiness; excess moisture will make the chips soggy.
  • For best results, shape the chips evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  • Customize the seasonings to your taste, adding cayenne for spice or different herbs for varied flavor profiles.
  • Store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
  • These chips are a great low-carb, high-protein snack alternative.
