Main Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
Optional Seasonings
- Everything but the bagel seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Taco seasoning (low sodium or salt free)
- Cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180C/350F and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the cottage cheese: Drain any excess moisture from the cottage cheese to help the chips become crispy when baked.
- Scoop and shape: Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of cottage cheese and place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press down each mound gently to flatten slightly and sprinkle with your choice of seasoning.
- Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the edges of the cottage cheese mounds become golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking tray to let them crisp up further before serving.
Notes
- STORAGE: Leftover chips can be refrigerated, but they might become soggy. Reheating them in the oven will help restore their crispiness.
- Flavor variations: Add seasonings like everything but the bagel, garlic powder, taco seasoning (low sodium), or finely grated cheddar or parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Ensure to drain the cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid soggy chips.
- Pressing the mounds helps them bake evenly and achieve a chip-like texture.
