Crispy low-carb cottage cheese chips are a delicious and guilt-free snack that’s quick to make. These crunchy bites combine the creaminess of cottage cheese with the savory flavor of Parmesan, perfect for a light treat or party appetizer.

Ingredients

• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or cheddar)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder or your favorite herbs (optional)
• Parchment paper for baking

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated cheese, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings until well mixed.
3. Step 3: Spoon small amounts of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten each spoonful into thin circles.
4. Step 4: Bake for 15-20 minutes until the chips turn golden brown and become crispy, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
5. Step 5: Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Tips & Variations

• Use sharp cheddar for a stronger flavor or mix different cheeses for variety.
• Experiment with dried herbs like oregano or smoked paprika for added taste.
• Make sure to flatten the chips thinly for extra crispiness.

Storage

Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness. If they soften, reheat briefly in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to restore crunch.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use full-fat cottage cheese instead of low-fat?

Yes, full-fat cottage cheese can be used and will add a richer flavor, though the chips may be slightly less crispy.

What can I do if the chips are not crispy enough?

Make sure to flatten the mixture thinly and bake until golden brown; you can extend baking time slightly if needed, but watch closely to avoid burning.
