Here’s a simple, crunchy, and healthy recipe for cottage cheese chips — a low-carb, high-protein snack.
🧀 Cottage Cheese Chips
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat, well-drained)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan or other hard cheese (optional, for extra crisp)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour or almond flour (for binding)
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: herbs or spices (paprika, garlic powder, chives, or Italian seasoning)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Make the Mixture
- In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan, flour, egg, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs.
- Mix until a thick, spreadable dough forms.
3️⃣ Shape the Chips
- Use a spoon or your hands to form small thin rounds or squares on the baking sheet (about 1/8–1/4 inch thick).
- Flatten slightly for even baking.
4️⃣ Bake
- Bake 15–20 minutes, until edges are golden and crisp.
- Flip halfway for extra crispiness if desired.
5️⃣ Cool & Serve
- Let chips cool on a wire rack — they crisp up further as they cool.
- Serve as a snack or with dips like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Tips & Variations
- Low-carb: Use almond flour or coconut flour.
- Cheesy variation: Add extra shredded cheddar, parmesan, or mozzarella.
- Spicy: Sprinkle with paprika, chili powder, or cayenne before baking.
- Herbed: Add fresh chopped rosemary, thyme, or parsley for flavor.
If you like, I can also give an air-fryer version that’s even crispier and faster than oven baking. Do you want me to do that?
