Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese low-fat or full-fat, depending on preference
- 1/4 cup almond flour or oat flour as a binding agent
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika optional, for a smoky flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper optional
- Parchment paper for baking
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot for baking the chips.
Prepare the Cottage Cheese:
- Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy. This step ensures that your chips will have a uniform texture when baked.
Mix the Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the smooth cottage cheese with the almond flour (or oat flour), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
Spread the Mixture:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the cottage cheese mixture onto the parchment paper in a thin, even layer. Aim for about 1/8 inch thick for crispy chips.
Bake the Chips:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, and check around the 10-minute mark.
Cool and Break Into Chips:
- Once the chips are baked and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before breaking them into bite-sized pieces.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Your cottage cheese chips are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them with your favorite dip, over salads, or as a standalone snack.
