Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or substitute parmesan or mozzarella
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins dried parsley, chili flakes, or everything bagel seasoning

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Blender
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a blender, combine 1 cup cottage cheese, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth but still retains a bit of texture.
  3. Drop small 1-2 tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Carefully flatten each mound into a thin circle to ensure they become crispy in the oven.
  4. Bake the chips in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes. For a softer, chewier chip, aim for about 20 minutes; for a crispier texture, let them bake closer to 28-30 minutes until nicely browned at the edges.
  5. Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool, making the wait well worth it.

Notes

These cottage cheese chips are a quick and healthy snack that can be easily customized with different cheeses or extra spices like jalapeños for a kick. They store well and can be paired with dips such as salsa, guacamole, or a herb-infused Greek yogurt dip. This recipe offers a guilt-free way to enjoy a crunchy treat, perfect for any time of day.
