Cottage Cheese Chips are a crunchy, protein-packed snack made by transforming creamy cottage cheese into thin, crispy baked chips. Perfect for movie nights, quick munching, or gatherings, this healthy alternative offers a deliciously addictive crunch with customizable flavors and simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • 1 large Egg White
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder (optional)
  • Seasonings to taste: garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure even crisping.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan, egg white, baking powder, and your chosen seasonings. Stir until you have a thick, cohesive mixture perfect for shaping.
  3. Shape the Chips: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop small amounts of mixture onto the baking sheet, then gently flatten each into thin discs about 1/8 inch thick. Keep them evenly spaced to ensure crisp edges.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Bake the chips for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. They will turn golden-brown with crispy, slightly browned edges when done.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the tray for 5 to 10 minutes to achieve full crispiness before eating.

Notes

  • Patience with Flattening: Flatten chips evenly to ensure consistent crispiness.
  • Use Egg Whites: They provide structure without extra fat, keeping chips light and crunchy.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Mixing cottage cheese at room temperature blends better with other ingredients.
  • Thin is Key: Thin chips crisp nicely without becoming chewy.
  • Cool Before Storing: Let chips cool completely to avoid sogginess in containers.
