Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (256g) whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)
Optional Seasonings
- Seasonings of your choice (e.g., paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne)
- Parmesan cheese (grated, for added flavor)
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot enough to crisp the cottage cheese chips properly.
- Prepare the cheese: Drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese by placing it in a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth for a few minutes to avoid soggy chips.
- Season the cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese with any optional seasonings and Parmesan cheese if using, mixing thoroughly to spread the flavors evenly.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Drop small spoonfuls or form thin, flat circles of the cottage cheese mixture, spaced apart to allow even baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cheese for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the chips become firm and crisp.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes to become fully crisp before serving.
Notes
- Drain cottage cheese well to avoid moist, soggy chips.
- Customize the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispiness.
- These chips are best eaten fresh for optimal texture.
