  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 chips 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese (preferably low-fat or full-fat based on preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (optional for everything bagel cottage cheese chips)
  • Cooking spray or a little olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), and sea salt. Mix gently to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  3. Shape the Chips:
    Using a spoon, drop small dollops of the cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each dollop slightly with the back of the spoon to form thin, round shapes approximately 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Leave space between each chip to allow for even baking.
  4. Add Toppings (Optional):
    For everything bagel cottage cheese chips, sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning evenly over the top of each chip.
  5. Bake:
    Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the chips become crispy.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This cooling step helps them crisp up further.
  7. Enjoy:
    Serve your cottage cheese chips as a snack on their own, or pair with your favorite dips like guacamole, salsa, or hummus.

Notes

  • Cottage Cheese Type: Small curd cottage cheese works best for texture and crispiness. Avoid large curd varieties as they may not bake evenly.
  • Seasoning Variations: Feel free to experiment with different spices such as chili powder, Italian herbs, or lemon pepper for unique flavor profiles.
  • Storage: Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To re-crisp, bake them again for 3-5 minutes at 300°F (150°C).
  • Air Fryer Option: You can also make these chips in an air fryer at 320°F (160°C) for 10-15 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
