Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs like dill, rosemary or thyme (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, egg whites, and your choice of spices or herbs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a thick batter that will crisp beautifully when baked.
  2. Shape the Chips: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, dollop small amounts of the mixture onto the sheet, spreading each portion slightly to form thin, round chip shapes for even crisping.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chips for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning and crisp edges. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  4. Cool Before Serving: Remove the chips from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooling is essential to maximize crunchiness as they firm up while cooling down.
  5. Enjoy or Store: Once cooled, serve your cottage cheese chips immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness and crispness.

Notes

  • Drain excess moisture from cottage cheese by patting it dry with a paper towel to avoid soggy chips.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; space out chips evenly for proper crisping.
  • Spread the mixture thin and keep chip thickness consistent for the best crunch.
  • Flip chips halfway through baking for even golden color and texture.
  • Adjust oven temperature slightly depending on your oven and chip size for optimal results.
  • Cool chips on a wire rack to prevent moisture buildup underneath.
