Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese about 240 g, drained if very watery
  • seasonings of choice optional; garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, Italian seasoning, ranch seasoning, or chili flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain off any excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a fine-mesh strainer or by gently blotting it with paper towels.
  3. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese at a time onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each portion.
  4. Use the back of a spoon to flatten each mound into a thin, even circle.
  5. Sprinkle with your preferred seasonings, if using.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
  7. Add a few extra minutes of baking if needed, depending on the moisture level of the cottage cheese.
  8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool completely for 10–15 minutes.
  9. Once cool and crisp, gently lift the chips from the parchment and serve.

Notes

For the crispiest results, drain wetter cottage cheese well and flatten the portions evenly. Let the chips cool fully before judging their final texture.
