Description
This recipe, “Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips,” offers a healthy, high-protein, and low-carb alternative to traditional potato chips or crackers
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: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with olive oil spray.
-
Drain Cottage Cheese: Thoroughly drain the cottage cheese to remove excess liquid. This is crucial for achieving crispy chips.
-
Mix Ingredients: Mix the drained cottage cheese with all the seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, optional dried herbs, salt, and pepper) in a bowl.
-
Portion onto Baking Sheet: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each portion.
-
Flatten into Rounds: Flatten each portion into thin rounds using the back of a spoon, a spatula or your fingers. The thinner you spread them, the crispier they will be.
-
Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The baking time may vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the chips.
-
Cool: Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. This allows them to crisp up further.
