Cottage Cheese Chips

Crunchy, golden, and protein-packed Cottage Cheese Chips made from simple pantry ingredients. These healthy, low-carb snacks are quick to prepare and customizable with various seasonings, perfect for snacking solo or serving as an impressive party appetizer.

  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: About 20 chips 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon fresh or dried herbs (such as rosemary or thyme)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese to avoid soggy chips. In a bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese with grated Parmesan, egg white, garlic powder, black pepper, and any optional herbs or seasonings. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
  2. Shape the Chips: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or your fingers, spread small dollops of the mixture onto the sheet, leaving enough space between each to allow spreading and crisping. Flatten each dollop gently to about a quarter-inch thickness for even baking.
  3. Bake Until Crispy: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the chips for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips feel crispy to the touch. Watch closely towards the end to prevent burning.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up and reach perfect crunchiness. Serve immediately or store for later snacking.

Notes

  • Drain cottage cheese thoroughly to ensure crispiness.
  • Spread mixture thinly and evenly to achieve uniform baking and crunch.
  • Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for enhanced flavor and texture.
  • Season generously to bring out full flavor potential.
  • Allow chips to cool completely before storing to maintain crunch.
