Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and egg. Mix until well combined.
4. Scoop the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
5. Using a knife or pizza cutter, score the spread mixture into fry shapes. Top with extra parmesan if desired.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
7. Allow the fries to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before separating them at the scored lines.
Variations & Tips
For added flavor, you can sprinkle some garlic powder or paprika into the mixture before baking. For a hint of heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you prefer a different cheese, try substituting Parmesan with shredded cheddar or mozzarella for a variation in taste. Additionally, these fries can be air-fried at 375°F for about 15 minutes for an even crispier texture.
