Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon paprika or other seasonings

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and shredded cheese. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Add the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  4. Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet as thinly as possible using the back of a spoon or spatula. Aim for about 1/8-inch thickness.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Watch closely after 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet for 15-20 minutes. The chips will crisp up as they cool.
  7. Once fully cooled, break into chip-sized pieces and serve with your favorite dip.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for best crispy texture. Low-fat versions may result in softer chips.
  • The thinner you spread the dough, the crispier your chips will be.
  • Let chips cool completely before breaking them apart as they crisp up during cooling.
  • For extra flavor, add your favorite herbs and spices or sprinkle additional cheese on top before baking.
