Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat or low-fat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional seasonings: Garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, or any favorite seasoning blend
Instructions
Preparation
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Drain the cottage cheese through a fine sieve or cheesecloth if it’s very wet. This helps remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispier texture.
- Step 3: Using a spoon, scoop small mounds of cottage cheese onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to form thin rounds.
- Step 4: Sprinkle each cottage cheese round with salt and pepper, or add your favorite seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Step 5: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Step 6: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Once cooled, enjoy them on their own or with a dip of your choice!
Notes
COOKING Note
- Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the chips as they bake. Depending on your oven, they may crisp up faster or slower, so start checking around 10 minutes.
- Thickness: Flattening the cottage cheese mounds to even rounds ensures they bake uniformly. Thinner rounds will result in a crispier texture.
- Storage: These chips are best enjoyed fresh, as they may lose some crispiness if stored. However, you can keep leftovers in an airtight container for up to a day.
