Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup (256g) whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)
Optional Seasonings
- Seasonings of your choice (e.g., garlic powder, chili powder, herbs)
- Parmesan cheese (optional, for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking the cottage cheese chips to a crispy golden brown.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with your selected seasonings thoroughly to infuse flavor evenly throughout the mixture.
- Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned cottage cheese mixture evenly to form a thin layer for even baking.
- Add Parmesan (Optional): If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the spread cottage cheese to add extra flavor and crispness.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the chips become crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet to harden. Once cooled, break into chips and serve as a tasty, protein-rich snack.
Notes
- Experiment with various seasonings such as garlic powder, chili powder, or your favorite herbs to customize the flavor.
- Allow chips to cool completely before breaking to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
