Fitness Cheese Chipá

Ingredients

• 100 g Low-fat ricotta (Light or low-fat)
• 60 g Shredded light cheese
• 1 Egg
• 40 g Grated Parmesan or hard cheese
• 50 g Cassava starch (Also known as tapioca starch)
• Salt (To taste)
• Ground black pepper (To taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to the minimum temperature indicated by the author, or prepare the air fryer according to the appliance's instructions.

2. 2

   Place the low-fat ricotta, shredded light cheese, egg, grated Parmesan or hard cheese, and cassava starch in a bowl.

3. 3

   Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix with a spatula or clean hands until a smooth, manageable dough forms.

4. 4

   Divide the dough and shape it into small balls or chipá pieces. Arrange them spaced apart on a baking sheet, or in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.

5. 5

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the chipás are firm and lightly golden. Alternatively, cook them in the air fryer until golden on the outside and cooked through in the center; the cooking time may vary depending on the appliance.

6. 6

   Let them rest for a few minutes and serve warm.

Notes

The post indicates baking for 15-20 minutes at the lowest setting or using an air fryer, but it does not specify the temperature or exact air fryer cooking time. The quantity yields approximately 2 servings, depending on the size of the pieces.
