Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup small curd cottage cheese (Good Culture or Daisy recommended)
- Seasoning of your choice (e.g., everything bagel seasoning, Cavender’s Greek seasoning)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Lightly spray the parchment paper with oil to ensure crispiness.
- 2. Drain the Cottage Cheese
- Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
- 3. Shape the Chips
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop small mounds of the seasoned cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten each mound with the back of a spoon to form thin, round chips. Space them apart to allow even baking.
- 4. Bake Until Crispy
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy.
- Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- 5. Cool and Serve
- Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up further.
- Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy as a snack or with your favorite dip!
Notes
- Ensure proper draining: Removing excess moisture from the cottage cheese is key to achieving crispiness.
- Experiment with seasonings: Try garlic powder, smoked paprika, ranch seasoning, or chili flakes for a flavor boost!
- For an extra crunch, broil for the last 2 minutes of baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or in the fridge for up to 3 days. Re-crisp in the oven if needed.
