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, paprika, black pepper, dried herbs)
Optional Toppings
- Parmesan cheese, grated, for sprinkling on top
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat for even cooking.
- Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole milk small curd cottage cheese with your chosen seasonings. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Spread the mixture: Evenly spread the cottage cheese mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure to distribute it thinly to help it crisp up properly.
- Add cheese topping (optional): If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top to add extra flavor and crunch.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crisp to the touch.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the baked cheese mixture to cool completely. Once cooled, break into chip-sized pieces and serve.
Notes
- You can customize the seasonings to suit your taste preferences, such as adding chili powder for heat or Italian herbs for a Mediterranean twist.
- Ensure the mixture is spread thinly for optimal crispiness; thicker layers may remain soft.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Store any leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and high in protein, making it a great snack for those avoiding gluten or looking for a nutritious snack.
