2-Ingredient Protein Chips
Ingredients
- 1 cup probiotic full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
Optional cool ranch seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried dill
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- Black pepper to taste
- (Go easy on the salt — both cheeses are already salty.)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
- Drain the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh strainer about 10 minutes.
- Blend the drained cottage cheese completely smooth.
- Stir in the Parmesan and seasonings.
- Drop about 1 T per chip onto the parchment. Spread thin, roughly 2 1/2 inches wide. The centers must not be thicker than the edges.
- Bake 18 minutes. Rotate the pans and swap racks.
- Bake another 12-18 minutes, until golden across the centers and darker at the edges.
- Turn the oven off, crack the door, leave them inside 10 more minutes.
- Cool completely before you judge the texture. They crisp up a lot as they cool.
- Do NOT pull them at pale gold. Moisture is the enemy — they need real browning across the middle.
