This easy recipe delivers great taste and nutrition in every bite!
Ingredients
To create your own Cottage Cheese Chips, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups cottage cheese (preferably low-fat or fat-free for a healthier option)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works beautifully, but feel free to experiment!)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for that savory kick)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust according to your taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (for a smoky flavor)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or olive oil (to help with crisping)
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your chips will bake evenly and achieve that perfect crunch.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Stir until well blended. Using a blender can help achieve a smoother consistency that allows for better chips.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. To help your chips crisp up nicely, lightly spray the parchment paper with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
Using a spoon, drop small dollops of the mixture onto the parchment paper, spacing them out to allow for spreading. Flatten each dollop into a thin circle, aiming for about 1/4 inch thick.
Place your baking sheet in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. To ensure even baking, consider rotating the baking sheet halfway through.
Once baked, take the chips out of the oven and let them cool on the tray for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the chips to firm up further. Serve them warm or store for later!
