Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g cottage cheese (preferably whole milk)
- Spices (e.g. salt, pepper, garlic powder) (to taste)
- Parmesan (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 sheet of baking paper (for lining the baking tray)
- 1 spray mist solution (optional for extra crispiness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. This is important for evenly baking the chips and achieving a nice crispiness.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. This prevents the chips from sticking and makes it easier to remove them after baking.
- Place 250 g of cottage cheese in a bowl. You can use a large mixing bowl to have enough space for mixing.
- Add spices to taste – start with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir everything well until the spices are evenly distributed.
- If you want to use Parmesan, add 30 g of grated Parmesan and mix everything again. The cheese will melt while baking and add extra flavor.
- Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly on the baking paper. Use a spoon to form small mounds about 5 cm in diameter.
- Lightly spray the chips (optional) with a mist solution to increase crispiness. This is especially helpful if you desire an extra crunchy texture.
- Bake the chips in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on the chips to avoid burning.
- Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the chips cool on the tray. Cooling makes them even crispier.
- When cooled, gently lift the chips off the baking paper and place them in a serving bowl. They are now ready to enjoy!
