Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curds, drained)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried herbs (optional, like thyme or parsley)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the cottage cheese chips.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Drain Cottage Cheese: Thoroughly drain the cottage cheese to remove excess moisture, essential for achieving a crispy texture.
  4. Mix Seasonings: In a bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
  5. Form Chips: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Flatten each portion into thin, round discs for even baking.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy.
  7. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet, which helps them firm up further before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat (4%) small-curd cottage cheese for the best crunchy texture; low-fat versions will not crisp properly.
  • For additional flavors, mix in seasonings such as chili flakes, parmesan cheese, or smoked paprika directly into the cheese mixture.
  • Enjoy these chips fresh for maximum crispness, or store them in an airtight container for up to one day.
  • To re-crisp stored chips, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes before serving.
  • If short on time, these chips can be air fried at 350°F for 10–15 minutes; avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even cooking.
