Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips
These viral cottage cheese chips are crispy, salty, and high in protein. Made with just cottage cheese and your favorite seasonings, they’re baked in the oven for an easy and low carb snack everyone will love.
Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese 4% works best
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Drain the excess moisture from the cottage cheese by putting the cottage cheese in a strainer. Press down to help remove as much moisture as possible.
- Add ½ Tablespoon size mounds of cottage cheese to the baking sheet, spacing them out about 1-2" apart. Press down on each mound with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle on any seasoning as desired (ideas below!) You should have about 20 chips.
- Bake the cottage cheese chip for about 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crisp, flipping the pan after 15-20 minutes for even cooking. If you make 1 tablespoon chips they'll take 35-40 minutes. Let them cool completely before removing them from the baking tray, they'll continue to cook and crisp as they cool down. The cottage cheese chips are best eaten the same day so they'll stay crispy and crunchy. Enjoy!
Notes
- Please refer to the blog post for more recipe tips and seasoning ideas!
- Chip size: many recipes online use 1 tablespoon for each chip, we personally thought these were too big and cut the sise in half. If you do use a tablespoon instead, they will take a little longer to cook.
- Flavoring ideas: everything but the bagel seasoning, salt and pepper, garlic powder, dried onion flakes, Ranch seasoning mix, any store-bought favorite seasoning idea. A drizzle of hot honey at the end is great too.
- To prevent the chips from sticking to the parchment paper, let them cool completely before trying to remove them. They should peel right off at this point.
- The chips are best eaten the day you make them so they'll stay crisp.
- Use a high quality parchment paper - cheaper parchment isn't as non-stick as other brands. We used the Amazon brand parchment.
- Good Culture cottage cheese gives the best results since it has less moisture and finer curds. Make sure you use 4% cottage cheese and drain it well to minimize spreading. Good Culture cottage cheese chips do take longer to bake than other brands since it's higher protein. The store bought brand we used as a test batch took 35 minutes. So start checking your chips after 25 minutes to be on the safe side.
- Our chips were about ¼" thick and took about 45 minutes to become golden and crispy. Cooking time will vary based on your oven.
