Crunchy, protein-packed, and guilt-free—these cottage cheese chips are the perfect healthy snack! Made with just a few simple ingredients, they’re easy to customize with your favorite flavors. Whether you’re craving savory or sweet, this recipe has you covered.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (or full-fat for richer flavor)
- 1–2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch (to bind the mixture)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for savory chips)
- 1 teaspoon paprika or chili powder (optional, for spice)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, chia seeds, nutritional yeast, cinnamon, or sugar
Instructions
Prepare the Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour (or cornstarch), and your choice of seasonings. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Shape the Chips:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon small dollops of the mixture onto the sheet and use a spatula to spread them into thin, even layers. The thinner you spread, the crispier they’ll get!
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Bake the chips for 45-60 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Keep an eye on them toward the end to avoid burning.
Cool and Serve:
- Let the chips cool completely on a wire rack to crisp up further. Once cooled, enjoy them plain or pair with dips like salsa, guacamole, or yogurt.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative like tofu or cashew cheese.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Avoid refrigeration to prevent sogginess.
- Experiment with flavors like cinnamon-sugar for a sweet twist or ranch seasoning for a classic savory option.
