Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Cottage Cheese (well-drained) – 1 cup
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese – 1/4 cup
  • Almond Flour – 2 tablespoons
  • Egg White – 1 large

Seasonings

  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper – 1/8 teaspoon
  • Herbs and Spices (e.g., paprika, garlic powder, thyme) – 1/2 teaspoon each, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid soggy chips. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, and egg white. Add salt, pepper, and your preferred herbs or spices. Mix well until you get a slightly sticky dough that holds together.
  2. Shape the Chips: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or your hands, scoop small portions of the mixture onto the sheet and gently press them into thin, even discs about 1/8 inch thick. Thinner shapes will yield crispier chips.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chips for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp. Monitor closely near the end to prevent burning.
  4. Cool and Crisp: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the chips to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooling helps them firm up and develop maximum crunch.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve plain or with your favorite dips. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.

Notes

  • Drain cottage cheese thoroughly to prevent sogginess.
  • Shape chips to a uniform thickness for even baking.
  • Use parchment paper on baking trays to avoid sticking.
  • Check chips frequently toward the end of baking to avoid burning.
  • Sprinkle flavored salts after baking for extra taste without adding moisture.
