- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Dried herbs
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil
Directions :
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out into thin circles. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are crispy and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
how to serve Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips
Serve warm or at room temperature. They make a good snack with salsa, guacamole, or a small dip. You can use them as a crunchy topping for salads or soups.
how to store Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips
Let the chips cool fully before storing. Put them in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days for best crunch. If they soften, re-crisp them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes.
tips to make Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips
- Spread the spoonfuls thin so they get crispy all the way through.
- Use low-moisture cottage cheese if you can to help them crisp faster.
- Press the mixture down slightly with the back of a spoon to make flat chips.
- If the chips are soft after baking, bake a few more minutes.
- For extra crisp, chill the spooned circles in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking.
variation (if any)
- Add chili flakes or smoked paprika for heat.
- Swap Parmesan for cheddar or a mix of cheeses.
- Stir in sesame seeds or flax seeds for texture.
- Make mini chips for a party by using a piping bag or small spoon.
FAQs
Q: Can I use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese?
A: Yes. Full-fat gives richer flavor and may crisp better, but low-fat works too.
Q: Can I make these in an air fryer?
A: Yes. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-12 minutes and check often.
Q: How do I stop the chips from sticking to the paper?
A: Use parchment paper and a light spray of oil. Let chips cool a bit before lifting them off.
Q: Can I freeze the chips?
A: Freezing is not ideal. They may lose crunch when thawed.
Q: Can I add herbs fresh instead of dried?
A: Yes. Use small amounts of fresh herbs so the chips do not get too wet.
