Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (drained)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil spray (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
  2. Prepare the Mixture:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Shape the Treats:
    • Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls or flatten them slightly to form patties for an alternative texture.
  4. Coat with Egg:
    • Dip each ball or patty into the beaten egg, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  5. Bake:
    • Arrange the coated balls or patties on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Lightly spray them with olive oil for an extra crispy texture.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and crispy on the outside.
  6. Serve:
    • Let cool slightly before serving. These treats can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or even a side dish.

Notes

  • Use a fine-mesh sieve to drain the cottage cheese thoroughly for a firmer texture.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the mixture.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.
