Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (very important to prevent sticking).
Step 2: Blend (Optional but Recommended)
For smoother, crispier chips, blend the cottage cheese until creamy.
This helps the chips bake evenly and become extra crunchy.
Step 3: Portion the Cheese
Spoon small dollops (about 1 tablespoon) of cottage cheese onto the parchment-lined tray.
Flatten each mound gently with the back of a spoon into thin circles.
Step 4: Season
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and any optional spices evenly over the flattened cheese rounds.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 35–45 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through.
The chips should be golden brown with crispy edges.
Step 6: Cool to Crisp
Remove from the oven and let the chips cool on the tray for 5–10 minutes.
They will crisp up even more as they cool.
Step 7: Serve
Carefully peel the chips off the parchment paper and enjoy immediately.
🌟 Tips for Perfect Cottage Cheese Chips
- The thinner the circles, the crispier the chips.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and flavor.
- If chips soften later, re-crisp in the oven for 3–5 minutes.
