Ingredients

Chips Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as oregano or Italian seasoning)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well blended.
- Shape Chips: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop small mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space each mound about 2 inches apart and gently flatten each slightly with the back of the spoon to form chip shapes.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the chips turn golden brown and become crispy.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them crisp up further.
- Serve: Once cooled, serve the crispy cottage cheese chips as a healthy, protein-packed snack and enjoy!
Notes
- Using low-fat cottage cheese helps keep the snack lighter while maintaining high protein content.
- Feel free to experiment with different dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to vary the flavor.
- Ensure chips are spaced well on the baking sheet to allow even crisping.
- For extra crispiness, let chips cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 2 days to keep them crisp.
