Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup drained cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons flour or almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Olive oil or non-stick spray (for greasing baking sheet)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: Combine drained cottage cheese, grated Parmesan, your choice of flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until you achieve a uniform dough-like consistency, which will form the base for crispy chips.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
  3. Shape the Chips: Using a spoon or your fingers, scoop small portions of the mixture and spread them thinly and evenly on the baking sheet, making rounds about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Flatten each portion well to promote even baking and crispy edges.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, watching closely. Remove from oven when the edges are golden brown and the chips have hardened into a crisp texture. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet to maintain shape and crunch.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once completely cooled, transfer the chips to a serving plate. Serve immediately for the best crunch or store as instructed for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use drained cottage cheese to avoid soggy chips.
  • Spread chips thinly and evenly for uniform baking and avoid burnt edges.
  • Oven baking times may vary; watch closely to prevent overcooking.
  • Mix Parmesan with sharper cheeses like cheddar or Asiago for enhanced flavor.
  • Cool chips completely before storing to maintain crispness.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; avoid refrigerating.
  • Freeze unbaked dough portions on a tray and bake fresh from frozen if desired.
  • To re-crisp leftovers, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes.
