Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese, small curd preferred (Higher protein and lower moisture cottage cheese works best.)
- pinch salt (Optional, adds flavor.)
- to taste seasonings of choice (garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, everything seasoning) (Customize based on preferred flavor.)
- 2-3 tablespoons grated parmesan (Optional add-in for extra flavor.)
Instructions
Preparation and Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If the cottage cheese looks watery, drain it in a fine mesh strainer for 5 minutes.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon mounds of cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each mound.
- Gently flatten each mound into small rounds with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle lightly with your chosen seasonings.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, checking at 30 minutes. They are done when the edges are deep golden and the centers look set.
- Allow chips to cool on the pan for 10 minutes to crisp up before lifting with a thin spatula.
Notes
For maximum crunch, do not rush the cooling step. Store in a non-airtight container to keep them crispy.
