Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat, as preferred)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (chopped, optional – parsley, dill, or chives)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
- (Optional) Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor for a smoother consistency.
- Transfer the cottage cheese to a mixing bowl and stir in salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings or herbs.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to drop small dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are firm.
- Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet or a wire rack for maximum crispiness.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or enjoy immediately with your favorite dips!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, spread the dollops evenly and drain the cottage cheese thoroughly.
- Re-crisp chips by baking them for 2-3 minutes at 350°F (175°C) if needed.
- Experiment with flavors! Try chili flakes for spice or nutritional yeast for a cheesy kick.
