Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or other spices for seasoning
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the chips quickly.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Portion the cottage cheese: Drop small mounds of cottage cheese, approximately 2 tablespoons each, evenly spaced on the parchment paper.
- Flatten the mounds: Gently flatten each mound using the back of a spoon to create thin discs, which will help them become crispy when baked.
- Add seasoning: Optionally, sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, or any preferred spices on top of the flattened cottage cheese mounds to enhance flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool slightly to crisp up further before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer flavor and better texture, but low-fat works as well.
- Make sure to flatten the mounds well for crispier chips.
- Experiment with different seasonings such as chili powder, cumin, or Italian herbs for variety.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container, but note that chips are best eaten fresh to maintain crispiness.
- These chips are naturally gluten-free and suitable for keto and low-carb diets.
