Creating High-Protein Cottage Cheese Chips is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, shredded cheese, almond flour, olive oil, and all spices.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Use an immersion blender or a standard blender to mix the ingredients until you achieve a smooth batter.
4. Scoop Mixture: Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to drop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them out, as they will spread slightly while baking.
5. Flatten Chips: Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to flatten each portion until they resemble thin discs.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown, while the centers harden.
7. Cool Down: After baking, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. This will help them crisp up even more.
8. Enjoy: Once cooled, snack on them as is or pair with your favorite dip!
