Crispy Low-Carb Cottage Cheese Chips: Healthy Snack Delight Recipe

Introduction

Crispy low-carb cottage cheese chips are a delightful and healthy snack option perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a crunchy treat without the extra carbs. Made with simple ingredients and baked to golden perfection, these chips are both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or cheddar)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder or your favorite herbs (optional)
• Parchment paper for baking

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, grated cheese, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings until well combined.
3. Step 3: Spoon small amounts of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, then flatten each spoonful into thin circles.
4. Step 4: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
5. Step 5: Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Step 6: Serve the chips plain or with your favorite dips like guacamole or salsa.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding smoked paprika or chili flakes to the cheese mixture.
• Use cheddar cheese instead of Parmesan for a different taste.
• Make sure to flatten the chips thinly for maximum crispiness.
• Store baked chips in an airtight container to keep them crisp.

Storage

Store the cooled cottage cheese chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To re-crisp, warm them briefly in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. Avoid refrigerating, as it can make the chips lose their crisp texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use full-fat cottage cheese instead of low-fat?

Yes, you can use full-fat cottage cheese. It may produce slightly richer chips but the baking time and method remain the same.

How do I prevent the chips from sticking to the parchment paper?

Using enough parchment paper and flattening the mixture well helps reduce sticking. You can also lightly grease the parchment for easier removal if desired.
