Chip Mixture
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix these thoroughly until a cohesive, dough-like consistency forms.
- Form Dough: Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture holds together well enough to shape.
- Portion Dough: Scoop small portions of the dough and place each on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for baking expansion.
- Shape Chips: Using your hands or a spatula, gently flatten each portion into a thin, chip-like shape for even crisping.
- Bake Chips: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the chips turn golden brown and become crispy in texture.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool slightly, allowing them to firm up further before handling.
- Serve: Enjoy these crunchy, homemade Cottage Cheese Chips as a delicious and nutritious snack that’s perfect for any time of day.
Notes
- Ensure the chips are flattened thin enough for maximum crispness.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy clean-up.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the mixture.
- You can substitute garlic powder with garlic salt, but reduce added salt accordingly.
