INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
COTTAGE CHEESE:
- We use cottage cheese, as it provides a crispy texture and a high amount of protein. You can substitute it with low-fat cottage cheese, lactose-free cottage cheese, or drained ricotta.
TURMERIC:
- Use turmeric to add anti-inflammatory benefits and earthy flavor. You might replace it with grated turmeric or its paste.
GARLIC POWDER:
- To provide a savory taste to the chips, we utilize garlic powder. Roasted garlic powder or freshly chopped garlic may be utilized in its place.
ONION POWDER:
- Using onion powder will boost all the flavors. You can substitute it with shallot powder or dried minced onion.
SMOKED PAPRIKA:
- To give a smokey flavor, we use smoked paprika. Chili powder or sweet paprika might be used in its stead.
BLACK PEPPER:
- To boost the taste and absorption of turmeric, add black pepper. White pepper or a dash of cayenne pepper might be used in its place.
SEA SALT:
- We use sea salt to balance the flavors. Himalayan pink salt or kosher salt could also be utilized in its stead.
DRIED OREGANO:
- Use dried oregano to add a herby flavor. Utilize thyme, basil, or Italian seasoning as per your preference.
PARSLEY:
- We use fresh parsley to add freshness and color. You can replace it with dill, cilantro, or chives.
OLIVE OIL:
- To make the chips crispier, utilize olive oil. You may either leave it out or swap it with avocado oil.
