Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Optional Seasonings:
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Chili powder
- Italian herb blend
- Nutritional yeast
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C), creating an optimal environment for transforming cottage cheese into crispy chips. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Whisk cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until the mixture reaches a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Deposit small tablespoon-sized dollops onto the prepared baking sheet, carefully spreading each portion into thin, delicate circles using a spoon or spatula. Ensure sufficient spacing between chips to allow for expansion during baking.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven, roasting for 10-12 minutes until chip edges turn golden brown and centers feel firm to the touch.
- Extract the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The cooling process will enhance their crispiness and structural integrity.
- Once cooled, embellish the chips with additional seasonings like Everything Bagel Seasoning or chili powder for an extra flavor dimension. Serve alongside complementary dips such as salsa, guacamole, or tzatziki for a delightful snacking experience.
Notes
- Adjust cottage cheese consistency by draining excess moisture to prevent soggy chips.
- Try different cheese types like sharp cheddar or nutritional yeast for varied flavor profiles.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure even browning during baking.
- Monitor chip thickness carefully – thinner chips guarantee maximum crispiness and crunch.
