These crisps taste fabulous -- but they are ridiculously simple to make.

Cheddar Crisps

cheddar cheese

Cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 425° F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil and then top with parchment paper. 

Drop the cheddar cheese in mounds of 1 tbsp each, spreading each out into an even layer. Also, leave about 1-inch of space between each cheese round. Sprinkle with a touch of cayenne pepper (not too much!).

Bake for 6-10 minutes, watching carefully. You want the cheese to melt and just about stop bubbling. Do NOT let it brown though, as it will be bitter.

Remove from the baking sheet and arrange on a plate. Serve.

Cottage Cheese Chips: High-Protein Baked Low-Carb Snack

cottage cheese (low-fat recommended, but 4% works)

garlic powder

onion powder

¼ tsp smoked paprika

cayenne pepper

black pepper,

salt, to taste (use carefully)

tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning

tsp dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, Italian)

yeast

red pepper flakes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Place the ¾ cup of cottage cheese into cheesecloth or a nut milk bag (or fine mesh sieve) over a bowl. Squeeze or press out as much excess moisture as possible. Discard the liquid. This step is crucial for crispiness.

(Optional) If using powdered seasonings, transfer drained cottage cheese to a mixing bowl and mix them in using a spatula or spoon. Use a bowl scraper to get all the cheese.

Use a small cookie scoop (about 1 teaspoon size) or two spoons to drop small dollops of the drained cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, aiming for ~16 piles. Leave ample space between piles for spreading.

Evenly sprinkle the ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the cottage cheese piles. Add any optional sprinkle-on toppings now.

Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes.

Watch closely after 10 minutes. Chips are ready when spread, golden brown, and crispy at the edges.

Remove from the over and let cool completely on the baking sheet placed on a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes to fully crisp up.

Gently lift cooled chips from the liner using a thin metal spatula or fish spatula. Enjoy immediately or store as directed below.
