Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips
My sister always called these “cheese magic crisps” when we were kids. I still remember how we’d sneak into the kitchen and beg mom to bake an extra tray just for us. Now I make them at home whenever I crave a light, savory snack that doesn’t weigh me down. These Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips are baked to perfection, offering a crunchy, cheesy, guilt-free snack packed with protein!
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parchment paper for baking
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Spoon small dollops of cottage cheese onto the paper, keeping space between each.
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper evenly.
Gently flatten each spoonful with the back of a spoon to form thin circles.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
Let them cool before peeling off the paper and enjoy the crunch!
