Cottage Cheese Chips are a crispy, cheesy snack made from blended cottage cheese, eggs, and shredded cheese seasoned with garlic, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Baked to perfection, these chips are thin, crunchy, and perfect for dipping or enjoying on their own. This low-carb snack offers a tasty alternative to traditional chips with a protein-rich twist.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 15-20 chips

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or parmesan/mozzarella)

Seasonings

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Dried parsley
  • Chili flakes
  • Everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Combine the cottage cheese, egg, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend until the mixture is mostly smooth but still slightly textured to provide a good chip structure.
  3. Scoop and Shape Chips: Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the mixture (1–2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound into a thin circle; the thinner the chips, the crispier they will become.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20–30 minutes depending on your desired crispiness: bake for about 20 minutes for softer, chewy chips or around 28–30 minutes for extra crispy, browned chips.
  5. Cool: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the tray for about 10 minutes. The chips will harden and become crispier as they cool down.
  6. Serve: Enjoy these cottage cheese chips on their own or paired with dips like salsa, ranch, Greek yogurt dip, or guacamole for an added burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese depending on your dietary preference; both work well.
  • Flatten the chips as thin as possible for maximum crispness.
  • These chips store best in an airtight container once completely cooled to maintain crispiness.
  • You can customize seasoning with chili flakes, dried parsley, or everything bagel seasoning for more flavor varieties.
  • Watch closely towards the end of the baking time to avoid burning chips as they crisp up quickly.
