Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: Varies (approx. 1–2 servings)
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 g) full-fat cottage cheese
- Optional: Seasonings of choice (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, chili flakes)
Oven Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Prep the Cottage Cheese
Drain any excess liquid from the top of the cottage cheese.
If using, mix in your desired seasonings.
3. Shape the Chips
Spoon small portions of cottage cheese onto the prepared sheet, leaving space between each.
Flatten each into a thin round, approximately 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) thick.
4. Bake
Bake on the middle rack for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and crispy at the edges.
Tip: Avoid overbaking to prevent toughness.
5. Cool and Crisp
Let chips cool on the sheet for 10–15 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
