Main Ingredients
- 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, for sprinkling
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chips.
- Mix Seasonings: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with your chosen seasonings thoroughly to infuse flavor evenly throughout the mixture.
- Spread Mixture: Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly into a thin layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to ensure even cooking and easy removal.
- Add Parmesan (Optional): If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the top to add a cheesy crust and additional flavor.
- Bake: Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and become crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked cheese layer to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it into chips for serving to retain crispiness.
Notes
- Experiment with various seasonings such as garlic powder, chili powder, or fresh herbs to customize the flavor profile to your taste preferences.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Make sure to spread the mixture thinly and evenly to achieve the best crispiness.
- Allowing chips to cool fully is essential for them to harden properly and become crunchy.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness, although best enjoyed fresh.
