Cottage Cheese Chips
Cottage Cheese Chips are a high-protein snack that transforms lazy snack-time into a comforting experience, perfect for autumn evenings.
Ingredients
For the Chips
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese drained briefly if very wet
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or a similar hard cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt plus extra to finish
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh herbs (optional)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for sweet version
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, egg, baking powder, and seasonings. Pulse until very smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in the grated Parmesan. If making a sweet version, fold in maple syrup and cinnamon instead.
Baking
- Drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto the prepared sheet about 1.5 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon to flatten each mound into a thin circle.
- Bake for 12–16 minutes until the edges turn golden brown. For extra crispness, switch to broil for the last 1–2 minutes — watch closely to avoid burning.
- Remove from the oven and let chips cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Sprinkle with a touch of sea salt before serving.
Notes
For best results, use a smooth batter and ensure chips are flattened thinly for crispiness. Store in airtight containers to maintain freshness.
