Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Cottage Cheese (full-fat or low-fat) – 1 cup
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese – 1/4 cup
  • Egg White – 1 large

Seasonings

  • Garlic Powder – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Smoked Paprika – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper – 1/4 teaspoon

For Baking

  • Cooking Spray or Parchment Paper – as needed for lining the baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for even baking and crisping of the chips.
  2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of grated parmesan, and 1 egg white. Stir until smooth and well-incorporated to create a dough-like consistency.
  3. Add Flavor and Seasonings: Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute flavors.
  4. Shape the Chips: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop small blobs of the mixture and flatten gently into thin circles about 2 inches in diameter for optimal crispness.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Bake the chips for 15-20 minutes, checking at around 12 minutes to prevent over-browning. Chips are done when golden around the edges and firm to the touch.
  6. Cool and Serve: Transfer chips to a cooling rack. Let them cool completely to crisp up further before serving and enjoying.

Notes

  • Drain Excess Moisture: Pat cottage cheese dry with paper towels if too watery to help chips hold their shape.
  • Thin is Best: Flatten chips evenly and thinly for a satisfying crunch without sogginess.
  • Watch the Oven: Monitor the baking closely during the final minutes to avoid burning.
  • Use Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated parmesan crisps up better than pre-shredded.
  • Cool Completely: Let chips cool fully on a rack to lock in maximum crispiness before storing.
