Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (256g) whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)
Optional Ingredients
- Seasonings of your choice (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper)
- Parmesan cheese, grated, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chips to a crispy golden brown.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole milk small curd cottage cheese with your chosen seasonings. Stir well to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Spread Mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly across the surface, aiming for a thin, uniform layer to promote crispiness.
- Add Parmesan (Optional): If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the cottage cheese layer for an extra savory flavor boost.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chips turn a golden brown color and become crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the baked cottage cheese mixture to cool completely. Once cooled, break into chips and enjoy your healthy snack.
Notes
- You can customize the seasoning to your taste, such as adding garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, or herbs for variety.
- Make sure the cottage cheese layer is as thin and even as possible for maximum crispiness.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- These chips are best eaten the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- For a dairy-free version, consider using a plant-based cheese alternative, but texture may vary.
