Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (drained well)
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Spices

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid sogginess. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese with egg whites, chia or flaxseeds, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and any preferred optional spices. Mix until you achieve a consistent, spreadable dough.
  2. Shape the Chips: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the tray, spreading them thinly and evenly with the back of the spoon. Make sure the edges are not thick to ensure the chips will be crispy.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the chips for 20 to 25 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip the chips halfway through baking for even coloration and texture.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely to firm up and maintain their crunchiness for longer snacking.

Notes

  • Drain the cottage cheese well to achieve crispy chips.
  • Spread the mixture thinly and evenly for uniform baking and texture.
  • Space chips evenly on the tray to prevent sticking and allow proper airflow.
  • Flip the chips halfway through baking to promote even browning.
  • Cool chips completely before storing to maintain crispiness.
