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

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese (well drained)
  • 2 Egg Whites
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons Almond Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • Fresh or dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, chives) – to taste
  • Cayenne pepper or smoked paprika (for spicy twist) – optional
  • Cheese alternatives (cheddar or Asiago) – optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the well-drained cottage cheese, egg whites, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until evenly mixed. The mixture should be thick but spreadable; if too runny, add more almond flour gradually.
  2. Shape the Chips: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet. Flatten each spoonful into thin, round chips about 2 to 3 inches wide, leaving space between each for even baking.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chips for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp around the edges. Check in the last few minutes to avoid burning and achieve desired crispness.
  4. Cool and Crisp Up: Remove the chips from the oven and transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely. This step helps them harden further, resulting in maximum crunch.

Notes

  • Use well-drained or strained cottage cheese to prevent soggy chips.
  • The thinner the chip spread, the crispier the result.
  • Allow enough spacing between chips on the baking sheet for proper air circulation.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow an even bake without additional oil.
  • Oven temperatures vary, so start checking for doneness around 12 minutes for best results.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crunch.
  • Freeze chips in a single layer on parchment paper inside a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month and re-crisp in the oven before serving.
  • Avoid microwaving leftovers to preserve crispness; reheat in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 5-7 minutes instead.
