Here’s how to make Cottage Cheese Chips for a carnivore-friendly snack! These crispy, cheesy bites are simple to prepare and packed with protein.
Carnivore Cottage Cheese Chips
Ingredients:
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella work best for crisping)
- 1 egg (optional, for binding if the mixture is too loose)
- Optional: A pinch of salt or light seasonings like garlic powder (if allowed).
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. - Prepare the Mixture:
- Blend the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until smooth (this step is optional if you like the texture of the curds).
- Mix in the shredded cheese and egg (if using) until you have a thick, sticky mixture.
- Form the Chips:
- Use a spoon to drop small dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread each dollop thinly into a circle (about 2–3 inches in diameter). The thinner the layer, the crispier the chips will be!
- Leave space between each chip for spreading.
- Bake:
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. - Cool and Crisp:
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up as they cool. - Serve:
Enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Pair them with carnivore-friendly dips like melted cheese, sour cream, or even whipped bone marrow.
Pro Tips:
- For extra crunch, you can flip the chips halfway through baking.
- If you’re a fan of spicy flavors, sprinkle a little crushed red pepper or paprika into the mixture before baking.
These Cottage Cheese Chips are perfect for snacking, scooping dips, or eating on their own. Let me know if you try them or want another variation!
