Cottage Cheese Crispy Chips (Printable)
Transform cottage cheese into golden, crispy chips packed with protein and seasoned to perfection.
# What You Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 14 oz cottage cheese, low-fat or regular
→ Seasonings
02 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
03 - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
04 - 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
05 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
→ Optional Toppings
06 - 1 tbsp finely chopped chives
07 - 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat your oven to 356°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Place the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh strainer and press gently to remove excess liquid.
03 - Transfer the cottage cheese to a mixing bowl. Stir in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until evenly combined.
04 - Drop heaping teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Flatten each mound lightly with the back of a spoon to form thin rounds.
05 - Sprinkle with chopped chives and/or Parmesan cheese if desired.
06 - Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crisp at the edges. Rotate the trays halfway through for even baking.
07 - Let the chips cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
