Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat, depending on preference)
  • Optional: Seasonings of choice (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, or chili flakes)

Instructions

Oven Method:

  1. Preheat and Prep:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Cottage Cheese:
    • Drain the excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
  3. Form Chips:
    • Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, place small mounds of cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet.
    • Flatten each mound with the back of a spoon to form thin, round chips. Leave space between each for even baking.
  4. Bake:
    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
    • Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy!

Microwave Method:

  1. Prepare the Parchment Paper:
    • Lightly spray parchment paper (cut to fit your microwave plate) with oil.
  2. Prepare Cottage Cheese:
    • Drain the excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
  3. Microwave:
    • Spread an even layer of cottage cheese onto the prepared parchment paper.
    • Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture turns golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary based on your microwave’s power, so watch closely to prevent burning.
  4. Cool and Break:
    • Carefully remove the parchment paper from the microwave and let it cool for a few minutes.
    • Break the cooled mixture into snack-sized pieces and enjoy.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pair with guacamole, salsa, or a yogurt-based dip.
  • Sprinkle with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
  • Enjoy as a standalone snack or as a crunchy topping for salads.

Notes

  1. Drain Well: Removing excess liquid from the cottage cheese is key to achieving crispiness.
  2. Thin and Even: Spread the cottage cheese as thinly as possible for the best texture.
  3. Watch Closely: Baking or microwaving times may vary, so keep an eye on the chips to avoid burning.
  4. Flavor Boost: Add a sprinkle of your favorite seasonings (like garlic powder, paprika, or herbs) before baking for extra flavor.
