Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
- 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 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
Cooking Preparation:
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Gather ingredients and equipment, ensuring cottage cheese, Parmesan, and seasonings are at hand with a baking sheet and parchment paper.
- Combine cottage cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, stirring until ingredients create a uniform, cohesive mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) while preparing the cheese mixture to ensure optimal temperature for baking.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for precise chip placement.
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop precise mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving approximately 2 inches between each dollop.
- Gently flatten each cheese mound using the back of a spoon, creating thin, even circles that will transform into crispy chips.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, watching carefully as the edges turn golden brown and the chips become crisp.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, allowing the chips to rest and firm up for a few minutes on the hot surface.
- Carefully transfer the chips to a wire rack, enabling complete cooling and maintaining their delicate, crunchy texture.
- Serve the cottage cheese chips as a standalone snack or alongside your preferred dipping sauce for an elegant appetizer.
Notes
- Pat cottage cheese dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and ensure maximum crispiness.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for better texture and richer flavor profile.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like Italian seasoning or za’atar for unique taste variations.
- For low-carb dieters, these chips are an excellent protein-packed alternative to traditional potato chips.
