Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Form Chips: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, place small mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to space each mound about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to form thin, chip-like shapes.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the chips for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Cool: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps maintain their crispiness.
- Serve: Enjoy your crispy cottage cheese chips as a nutritious snack or alongside your favorite dips.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute with vegan cheese alternatives though texture may vary.
- Ensure chips are flattened well to achieve optimal crispiness.
- Store cooled chips in an airtight container; best eaten within 2 days.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs or spices to customize flavor.
