Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
2️⃣ Form the Chips
Using a spoon, drop small dollops of cottage cheese onto the parchment paper. Spread them into thin, chip-sized circles to ensure they crisp up evenly.
3️⃣ Season for Extra Flavor
Sprinkle each chip with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasonings to your taste preference.
4️⃣ Bake to Perfection
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning.
5️⃣ Let Them Cool & Enjoy!
Once done, remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely. This helps them crisp up even more! Enjoy your chips on their own or pair them with your favorite dips like guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.
Pro Tips for Perfect Cottage Cheese Chips
✅ Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese: Low-fat versions contain more moisture and may not crisp up as well. ✅ Spread Evenly: Make sure the cheese is spread thinly to get that crunchy texture. ✅ Want Extra Crunch? Try Air-Frying! Air-fry at 300°F (150°C) for 12-15 minutes for an even crispier result. ✅ Storage Tip: Keep your chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Serving Ideas & Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add cayenne pepper or chili powder for a bit of heat.
- Cheesy Twist: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan before baking.
- Herb Lovers: Add dried oregano or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
