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)
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the chips.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Parmesan cheese: If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the cottage cheese layer to enhance flavor and texture.
- 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.
- 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.
