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

Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: Drain any excess liquid thoroughly from the cottage cheese to prevent sogginess. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, egg whites, chia or flaxseeds, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and chili flakes. Mix well until a consistent, spreadable dough forms.
  2. Shape the Chips: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the tray, then spread them thinly and evenly with the back of the spoon. Make sure the edges are thin to ensure crispness.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tray in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the chips turn golden brown and crispy. Flip the chips halfway through baking to ensure even color and texture.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This cooling process helps the chips firm up and maintain their crunchy texture for snacking.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid moist chips.
  • You can substitute chia seeds with flaxseeds based on preference or availability.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste or add herbs like oregano or thyme for variety.
  • Store cooled chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy for up to 2 days.
  • These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be lightly reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.
