Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to ensure your chips don’t stick and crisp evenly.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, making sure the cheese is well-distributed for consistent crispiness.
  3. Shape the Chips: Using a teaspoon or your fingers, drop small dollops onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound gently with the back of a spoon into thin, even circles to help them bake uniformly and crisp up quickly.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the chips are firm. Keep a close eye to avoid burning; crispiness develops fast toward the end.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet. Cooling allows them to set and become extra crunchy before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use low-moisture, low-fat cottage cheese to avoid soggy chips and improve crisping.
  • Shape the chip dollops thinly and evenly for consistent baking and maximum crunch.
  • Do not skip cooling; letting the chips cool fully enhances their crispness.
  • Adjust seasonings before baking by tasting the mixture and adding more spices if desired.
  • Bake the chips in a single layer without overcrowding to ensure proper air circulation and crisping.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days; avoid refrigeration.
  • Reheat gently in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3–5 minutes to restore crispness; avoid microwaving.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it can make chips soggy upon thawing.
