These homemade chips are a fantastic alternative to store-bought snacks. Here’s why you’ll love them:

Flavor Profile

These chips combine the sharp, salty taste of Parmesan with the creamy texture of cottage cheese, baked to a golden crisp. Hints of garlic and herbs enhance the flavor, making each bite irresistibly delicious. They provide the crunch of traditional chips without the added carbs or preservatives.

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as oregano or Italian seasoning)
Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)

Equipment

Mixing bowl
Baking sheet
Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
Spoon or small ice cream scoop
Wire rack for cooling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.

In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon for even cooking.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to avoid over-browning.

Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to crisp up fully.

Enjoy on their own or pair them with your favorite dip!

Serving Suggestions

These chips taste amazing on their own but pair wonderfully with dips. Try them with:

Guacamole or avocado salsa for a creamy contrast.
Greek yogurt dip with fresh herbs and lemon for a refreshing touch.
Pico de Gallo for a fresh, zesty pairing.

Tips for Perfect Chips

Drain the Cottage Cheese: If it’s too watery, drain it slightly to prevent soggy chips.
Experiment with Cheese: Try shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or Asiago for different flavors.
Extra Crispiness: Leave them in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Use Low-Fat Cottage Cheese: Works just as well for a lighter option.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover chips in an airtight container for up to 1-2 days. To restore crispiness, warm them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.

Alternative Cooking Methods

Air Fryer: Preheat to 370°F (185°C) and cook for 8-10 minutes, checking frequently.
Cheese Variations: While Parmesan is classic, you can use cheddar, mozzarella, or even Asiago for a different taste.

Keto-Friendly Option

Since these chips are naturally low in carbs, they fit perfectly into a keto diet.

Best Type of Cottage Cheese

Thicker cottage cheese, such as small-curd or low-fat, works best. If yours is too wet, draining it slightly will help achieve a crispier texture.
