Description

These 1-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Chips are a simple, healthy snack that transforms whole milk cottage cheese into crispy, crunchy chips. Baked to golden perfection, they offer a deliciously cheesy treat with minimal ingredients and fuss, perfect for a low-fat, high-protein snack anytime.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (256 g) whole milk small curds cottage cheese (4% milkfat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the chips.
  2. Scoop and Flatten Cottage Cheese: Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing scoops about 2 inches apart. Use the back of a metal spoon to carefully flatten each scoop to about 3/16 to 1/4 inch thickness. Optionally, sprinkle seasoning on top if desired.
  3. Bake the Chips: Bake the cottage cheese for 40-50 minutes, monitoring from around 20 minutes onward. The edges should turn dark brown with a golden to medium brown surface. Thinner chips will cook faster, and browner chips will be crunchier, so keep a close eye during the final stages to avoid burning.
  4. Cool and Set: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet for 20-30 minutes. Do not eat before cooling as the chips firm up and become fully set after cooling.
  5. Store Properly: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container or sealed bag for a few hours to maintain crispiness. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze leftovers to prevent them from absorbing moisture and softening.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent the cottage cheese from sticking to the baking sheet and to make cleanup easier.
  • Flattening thickness affects baking time and texture; thinner chips bake quicker and are crispier.
  • Do not eat the chips right out of the oven as they will be soft; cooling is essential for the right crunch.
  • Store chips in airtight containers to maintain crispness, refrigerate or freeze extra chips to keep them fresh longer.
