Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips Recipe

Introduction

Crispy cottage cheese chips are a delightful, healthy snack that combines the creaminess of cottage cheese with a crispy, golden texture. They are easy to make and perfect for a quick bite or serving at gatherings. Let’s dive into how to create these savory treats in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 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 spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Step 3: Scoop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop. Space each about 2 inches apart, and flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon.
4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Step 6: Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For extra crispiness, try using full-fat cottage cheese or draining the cottage cheese slightly before mixing.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
• Use different dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for a flavor twist.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara or ranch for added flavor.

Storage

Store the chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain their crispness. If they soften, reheat them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes to restore crunch.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular cheese instead of Parmesan?

Parmesan helps create a crispy texture and adds a sharp flavor. You can use other hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano, but softer cheeses are less suitable as they won’t crisp up as well.

Are these chips suitable for a low-carb diet?

Yes, cottage cheese chips are relatively low in carbs compared to traditional chips and can fit well within a low-carb or keto diet, especially when made with low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese.
