Ingredients You’ll Need

The secret to these crispy, flavorful chips lies in their simplicity. Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Chips:

  • 2 cups cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat, depending on preference)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option)

  • Garlic powder

  • Paprika
  • Italian seasoning
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • Chili powder or cayenne pepper (for a spicy kick)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready to whip up these crunchy, protein-packed chips? Follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Mixture

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  2. If desired, stir in your favorite seasonings (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning) to add extra flavor.

Step 3: Shape the Chips

  1. Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture (about 1–2 teaspoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to spread each spoonful into thin, even circles (about 2–3 inches in diameter). The thinner they are, the crispier they’ll get!

Step 4: Bake the Chips

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes , or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are firm to the touch.
  2. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.

Step 5: Cool and Crisp

  1. Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They’ll continue to crisp up as they cool.
  2. Once cooled, carefully peel the chips off the parchment paper.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the chips plain or pair them with your favorite dips, such as salsa, guacamole, ranch, or hummus.
  2. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days (if they last that long!).
