Cottage Cheese Chips

Cottage Cheese Chips

Cottage Cheese Chips are a healthy, protein-packed snack that combines creamy cottage cheese with bold herbs, spices, and optional cheese, baked to crispy perfection. They are quick to prepare, versatile in flavor, and provide a crunchy, guilt-free alternative to traditional chips, perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 20-25 minutes
  • Yield: About 12-15 chips

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Cottage cheese (drained well), about 1 cup
  • Baking parchment or silicone mat (for baking)
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, as needed

Herbs and Spices (choose based on preference)

  • Garlic powder, paprika, or dill (about 1/2 to 1 tsp each)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Additions

  • Grated cheese such as cheddar or parmesan (1-2 tbsp) for extra flavor and crispiness
  • Chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick
  • Oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme or parsley for herbal varieties
  • Cinnamon and a touch of honey for sweet and savory variation

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: Drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid soggy chips. In a bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese with your chosen herbs, spices, and optional grated cheese, ensuring the flavors are evenly mixed.
  2. Form the Chips: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop small portions of the mixture and spread them thinly and evenly on a baking parchment or silicone mat. Shape each into a flat, round chip approximately 2 to 3 inches wide.
  3. Bake Until Crispy: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chips for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges turn golden and crispy. Keep a close watch during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is essential as the chips will harden and become crisp as they cool. Serve once fully cooled.

Notes

  • Drain cottage cheese thoroughly to ensure crispiness.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; allow space between chips for even baking.
  • Experiment with different seasoning blends like taco seasoning or za’atar for variety.
  • Allow chips to cool completely before storing or serving for best texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to maintain crispness.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it can affect the texture of the chips.
  • Reheat chips in a preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes to restore crunchiness.
