Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional
- Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Scoop Mixture: Using a tablespoon, scoop small amounts of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between each scoop to allow even cooking and spreading.
- Flatten Mixture: Gently press down each scoop with the back of a spoon to form even, thin rounds. This helps the chips bake evenly and become crispy.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
- Cool: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Cooling will help the chips firm up further and develop crunchiness.
- Store: Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain their crispiness.
Notes
- You can add chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the mixture before baking for extra flavor.
- Be sure to flatten the chips evenly to ensure consistent crispness.
- If you want a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning.
- Leftover chips are best stored in an airtight container to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- These chips make a great healthy alternative to traditional potato chips and are perfect for low-carb diets.
