Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips
Transform ordinary cottage cheese into crispy, savory chips that make the perfect high-protein, low-carb snack. These golden-brown crisps are seasoned with simple spices and herbs, creating a satisfying alternative to traditional potato chips. With just a few ingredients, you can enjoy these protein-packed bites that are perfect for guilt-free snacking throughout the day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese small curds, drained
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried herbs optional, like thyme or parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
- Thoroughly drain cottage cheese.
- Mix cottage cheese with all seasonings in a bowl.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten each portion into thin rounds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat (4%) small-curd cottage cheese for the best crunch—low-fat just won’t crisp right.
- Mix seasonings like chili flakes, parmesan, or smoked paprika straight into the cheese for even flavor.
- Enjoy fresh, or store in an airtight container for a day. To re-crisp, bake at 350°F for 2–3 minutes.
- Short on time? Air fry at 350°F for 10–15 minutes, but don’t overcrowd the basket.
