Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (drained of excess liquid)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon paprika or chili powder (for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using an air fryer, preheat to 325°F (160°C).
- Prepare the Cottage Cheese – Spoon small dollops of cottage cheese onto the parchment paper, flattening them slightly into thin, round shapes. Ensure even spacing.
- Season the Chips – Sprinkle salt, pepper, and your preferred seasoning over each chip for extra flavor.
- Bake to Perfection – Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until the edges turn golden brown. For air frying, cook for 15-20 minutes, checking frequently.
- Cool & Serve – Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool completely. This step is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness. Enjoy immediately or store for later!
Notes
- For a cheesier flavor, sprinkle grated parmesan over the chips before baking.
- For extra crispiness, ensure your cottage cheese is well-drained before baking.
- To store, keep the chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven if they soften.
- Try different flavors like chili powder for spice or cinnamon for a sweet variation.
