Cottage Cheese Chips

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   Place the cottage cheese in a strainer (or press moisture out using a paper towel) and remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. Set aside.

   For this step

   • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, whey protein isolate, psyllium husk powder, cheddar cheese powder, xanthan gum, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and salt.

   For this step

   • 1 cup almond flour
   • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
   • 1 tablespoon whey isolate protein powder
   • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
   • 1 tablespoon cheddar cheese powder
   • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
   • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
   • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
   • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
   • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
   • 1/4 teaspoon salt
3. 3

   Add the blended cottage cheese and olive oil to the dry mixture. Mix using an electric mixer until a cohesive dough forms.

   For this step

   • 1 tablespoon olive oil
4. 4

   Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll it out very thin. Thinner dough will result in crispier chips. Remove the top parchment sheet and use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into triangle shapes.

5. 5

   Stovetop method (preferred for crispier chip): Pour enough avocado oil into a saucepan or skillet to cover the chips as they fry. Heat avocado oil over medium heat. Fry the chips in batches until golden, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.Oven method: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Transfer the chips to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp.
