Looking for a snack that’s crispy, satisfying, and packed with protein? These Crispy Cottage Cheese Crackers are about to become your new go-to. They’re incredibly simple to make (just a handful of ingredients!), yet they deliver big on flavor.
With a blend of cottage cheese and parmesan, they’re also naturally high in protein and low in carbs. Plus, they’re made at home without all the fillers and additives of traditional store-bought options, making them a perfect alternative. Finally, they pair beautifully with your favorite dips, spreads, or fresh toppings. Personally, I love them with a thin slice of a cucumber and perhaps a dollop of creamy dip for a refreshing yet crisp afternoon pick-me-up!

Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese drained for a thicker texture
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning or your choice of seasonings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Combine the cottage cheese, parmesan, garlic powder, and seasoning. Mix or blend until smooth.
- Using a scoop (like a small ice cream scoop), drop small mounds on your prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches between each mound. (They spread out as they bake.) Use the back of a spoon to flatten slightly.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes (checking occasionally to ensure they don’t burn) or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm.
- For even crunchier crackers, turn off the oven and place the cut crackers back inside for another 10 to 15 minutes while the oven cools down.
- Remove them from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack, and let them cool completely.
