Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat recommended, but any kind will work)
- Seasonings of choice (such as salt, pepper, paprika, or herbs) – optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the chips.
- Prepare Cottage Cheese Mounds: Drain any excess moisture from the cottage cheese to promote crispness. Using a spoon, scoop out one-tablespoon portions and place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing each mound about 2 inches apart. Gently press down on each mound to flatten it slightly, and sprinkle your preferred seasonings over the top if desired.
- Bake the Chips: Bake the cottage cheese mounds in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the chips become crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the tray. Cooling helps the chips firm up even more, enhancing their crunchiness. Once cooled, enjoy immediately or store for later snacking.
Notes
- Draining excess moisture is key to achieving crispy chips.
- Seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or chili flakes can add exciting flavors.
- Store baked chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Full-fat cottage cheese works best for richness but low-fat varieties can also be used.
