Scale
Main Protein Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) nutritional yeast
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Drain excess moisture from cottage cheese using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, ensuring a crisp final texture.
- Blend cottage cheese with Parmesan, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until thoroughly incorporated.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat to prevent adhesion.
- Distribute small dollops of seasoned cheese mixture onto the prepared surface, carefully flattening each into thin, uniform discs approximately 2-3 inches wide.
- Position baking sheet in preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring closely to achieve golden-brown edges without burning.
- Remove chips from oven and let them rest on the baking sheet, allowing natural cooling to enhance crispiness.
- Once completely cooled, transfer chips to an airtight container or serve immediately for optimal crunch and flavor.
- Consume within two days to maintain peak texture and freshness.
Notes
- Remove excess moisture from cottage cheese to guarantee maximum crispiness and prevent soggy results.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like cheddar or mozzarella for unique flavor variations.
- Use a silicone mat for consistent chip texture and easier removal without breaking.
