Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional; chopped parsley or chives)
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg whites, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and any fresh herbs you choose. Mix everything thoroughly until you have a smooth, slightly thick batter-like consistency ready to shape.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Baking Surface: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure the chips won’t stick during baking and will crisp evenly.
  3. Form the Chips: Using a spoon or your fingers, scoop small dollops of the mixture and spread them thinly onto the lined baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced out to allow even air circulation and crisping.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Crisp: Place the baking sheet in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the chips as they bake, removing them once they turn golden brown and feel crispy to the touch.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips cool completely on a wire rack. This step lets them firm up further, giving you that perfect crunchy texture you’re after.

Notes

  • Drain excess moisture from cottage cheese by patting it dry with paper towels to avoid soggy chips.
  • Spread the mixture thinly and evenly to ensure uniform crispiness.
  • Bake at moderate temperature to dry out the chips rather than burn them.
  • Allow chips to cool fully before tasting, as they crisp up more during cooling.
  • Start with basic seasoning and gradually add spices to avoid overpowering the flavor.
