Crispy, crunchy, and packed with protein, these cottage cheese chips are the perfect guilt-free snack. Ready in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients

• 1 cup (226g) cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently spread each spoonful into a thin, even circle (about 2 inches in diameter).

Step 4

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes; they will continue to crisp up. Serve immediately with your favorite dip or enjoy on their own.

For best results

• For extra crispy chips, use full-fat cottage cheese and spread the mixture very thin.
• Experiment with different seasonings like onion powder, dried herbs, or chili flakes.
• Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Recrisp in a 300°F oven for a few minutes if needed.

Variations

• Spicy: Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
• Cheesy: Mix in 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.
• Herb: Add 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme.
