How to Make Cottage Cheese Chips

Step 1: Prep the Oven & Baking Sheet

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
3. Lightly spray the parchment paper with oil to ensure crispier chips.

Step 2: Drain the Cottage Cheese

1. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove excess liquid from the cottage cheese.
2. The drier the cottage cheese, the crispier the chips!

Step 3: Shape the Chips

1. Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop small mounds of cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet.
2. Flatten each mound with the back of the spoon to form thin, round chips.
3. Ensure they are spaced apart to allow even baking.

Step 4: Bake Until Crispy

1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes.
2. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
3. The chips should be golden brown and crispy when done.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

1. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
2. The chips will continue to crisp up as they cool.
3. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy!

Pro Tips for the Best Cottage Cheese Chips

• Drain Well – The less moisture, the crispier the chips!
• Experiment with Flavors – Try chili powder, onion powder, or even a sprinkle of parmesan.
• Keep an Eye on Baking – Since ovens vary, check at 18 minutes to prevent over-browning.
• Use a Non-Stick Surface – Parchment paper works best, but a silicone baking mat also helps.

How to Serve

• As a Snack – Eat them plain or with a drizzle of hot sauce.
• With Dips – Pair with guacamole, hummus, or ranch dressing.
• Topped on Salads – Adds a crunchy, cheesy element.

Make Ahead & Storage

Storing Leftovers

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days.
• If they soften, reheat in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes to crisp them up again.

Freezing

• Not recommended, as the chips may lose their crispiness when thawed.
