Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips (Print Version)

Golden, crispy chips made from seasoned cottage cheese, packed with protein and perfect for healthy snacking.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 2 cups cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)

→ Seasonings

02 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

→ Optional Add-Ins

07 - 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 1 teaspoon dried herbs (oregano, thyme, or rosemary)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Place cottage cheese in a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth and press gently to remove excess moisture.
03 - Transfer the drained cottage cheese to a food processor. Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Add Parmesan and herbs if using. Blend until mostly smooth but still a bit textured.
04 - Scoop heaping teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Flatten each dollop into a thin round chip, about 2 inches wide.
05 - Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chips are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
06 - Cool completely on the baking sheet. Chips will crisp further as they cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
