Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips — a healthy, protein-packed snack!
Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat or regular)
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra crispiness and flavor)
-
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
-
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Cooking spray or a little oil (for greasing)
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lightly grease the surface. -
Prepare Cottage Cheese Mixture:
In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until combined. -
Form Chips:
Spoon small dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each dollop gently with the back of the spoon or your fingers to form thin, round discs about 1-2 inches in diameter. The thinner, the crispier! -
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the chips are crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. -
Cool and Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes—they will crisp up more as they cool. Serve as a snack or with your favorite dip!
Tips:
-
You can experiment by adding herbs like paprika, chili flakes, or dried oregano for extra flavor.
-
For an even crispier texture, you can try baking them longer at a lower temperature (e.g., 300°F/150°C) to dry them out more.
