Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips (Print-Friendly Version)

Golden, crispy cottage cheese chips with Parmesan and herbs offer a flavorful, low-carb crunchy snack.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
02 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
03 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1 teaspoon dried herbs (e.g., oregano or Italian seasoning)
06 - Salt, to taste
07 - Black pepper, to taste

→ For Baking

08 - Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

# Steps:

01 - Set oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
02 - In a medium bowl, mix cottage cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and black pepper until well blended and uniform.
03 - Using a spoon or small scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared sheet, allowing about 2 inches of space between each. Gently flatten each mound slightly to promote crisping.
04 - Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, monitoring closely during the last few minutes until edges are golden and centers bubble for optimal crispness.
05 - Allow chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer carefully to a wire rack to firm up and achieve peak crispiness.

# Notes & Tips:

01 - Drain cottage cheese slightly if too wet to enhance crispness.
02 - Once cooled, store chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
03 - Reheat in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crunch.
04 - Substitute Parmesan with shredded cheddar or mozzarella; for dairy-free, use plant-based cheese blends and consider nutritional yeast for flavor.
