Equipment
- ✅ Baking sheet
- ✅ Parchment paper (high-quality, like Reynolds or Kirkland)
- ✅ 1-tablespoon cookie scoop
- ✅ Metal spoon (for flattening chips)
- ✅ Airtight container (for short-term storage)
Ingredients
- 1 cup 256g whole milk cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)
- Optional Seasonings:
- Everything bagel seasoning no salt
- Chili powder for a spicy kick
- Garlic & onion powder
- Shredded parmesan or cheddar cheese
- Dried herbs rosemary, thyme, or chives
Instructions
- 🔥 Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (use a high-quality brand to prevent sticking).
- 🥄 Step 2: Scoop & Flatten
- Use a 1-tablespoon scoop to drop small portions of cottage cheese onto the baking sheet.
- Space them 2 inches apart to prevent sticking.
- Use the back of a spoon to flatten each scoop into thin circles (about 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick).
- 🌿 Step 3: Add Seasonings (Optional)
- Sprinkle your favorite seasonings before baking for extra flavor.
- ⏳ Step 4: Bake Until Crispy
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until edges turn dark brown and centers turn golden brown.
- The darker the chips, the crunchier they will be.
- Start checking at 20 minutes to prevent burning.
- ❄️ Step 5: Cool & Enjoy
- Let chips cool completely (about 20-30 minutes) before eating.
- They will firm up more as they cool.
- 💡 Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a few hours. If they soften, reheat in the oven at 350°F (177°C) for 5-7 minutes.
Notes
Use high-protein cottage cheese (at least 14g protein per ½ cup) for extra crunch.
Don’t use fat-free cottage cheese—it has too much moisture and won’t crisp up.
For air fryer version: Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 20-30 minutes, checking frequently.
If chips aren’t crispy enough, bake longer (but watch closely to prevent burning!).
