Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredient

  • 1 cup (256g) whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)

Optional Seasonings

  • Seasonings of your choice (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, herbs)

Toppings

  • Parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor and crispiness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the chips.
  2. Prepare the mixture: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the whole milk small curd cottage cheese with your chosen seasonings to infuse flavor throughout the mixture.
  3. Spread on baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then evenly spread the cottage cheese mixture across it in a thin layer to promote even baking and crispiness.
  4. Add Parmesan cheese: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the cottage cheese layer to enhance flavor and texture.
  5. Bake the chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chips turn golden brown and become crispy.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the baked sheet to cool completely to let the chips harden, then break them into chip-sized pieces and serve.

Notes

  • For best results, spread the cottage cheese mixture as thin as possible for maximum crispiness.
  • Experiment with different seasonings such as chili powder, Italian seasoning, or nutritional yeast for unique flavors.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  • Allow the chips to cool fully before breaking to avoid crumbling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
