Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
- 1/2 cup (60g) shredded cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet, depending on preference)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley, finely chopped; optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
- Parchment paper (for easy cleanup)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese and shredded cheese until evenly combined – this should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, and salt) and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous mixture forms. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Using a tablespoon, drop small portions of the mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving enough space between each portion to prevent them from sticking together while baking. This should yield about 15-20 portions.
- Bake the chips in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Once the chips reach the desired color, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool for 5 minutes before serving. The chips will become crispier as they cool.
- Enjoy your cottage cheese chips warm or at room temperature – they pair perfectly with dips or can be enjoyed on their own as a snack!

Keywords: Avoid making the chips too thick; thinner chips will crisp up more evenly. You can use an ice cream scoop for uniform chip sizes. Experiment with different cheeses to customize the flavor to your liking.
