Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips Recipe: A Perfect Low-Carb, High-Protein Snack
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
2. In a mixing bowl, blend together the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until you achieve a thick, creamy mixture bursting with flavor.
3. Using a spoon, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each scoop into a thin, round shape to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
4. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are delightfully crispy. Keep a close watch to prevent them from browning too much.
5. Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet, which will help them crisp up even more. For an extra touch of freshness, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
These nutritious chips make a fantastic standalone snack or can be enjoyed with healthy dips like guacamole, salsa, or a light Greek yogurt dip!
