Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (256g) whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)
Optional Seasonings
- Seasonings of your choice (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, herbs)
- Parmesan cheese (to taste)
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chips.
- Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with your chosen seasonings to add flavor. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
- Spread on baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned cottage cheese evenly, making sure it’s thin enough to crisp up during baking.
- Add Parmesan cheese (optional): Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the spread cottage cheese if you want an extra layer of cheesy flavor and crunch.
- Bake the chips: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chips are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break them into chip-sized pieces and serve.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, spread the cottage cheese as thinly as possible.
- You can customize the chips with different herbs and spices like rosemary, chili powder, or Italian seasoning.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- If using low-fat cottage cheese, the chips may be less crispy.
