Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat recommended, low-fat also works)
  • 1 large egg (optional, for better binding)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Drain the Cottage Cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth and let it drain for about 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispiness. This step can be skipped if short on time but may require longer baking.
  3. Mix Your Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, egg if using, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is thick but spreadable. Optional ingredients like Parmesan or nutritional yeast can be added for extra flavor.
  4. Form Your Chips: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1-2 inches between each. Flatten each scoop to about 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) thickness using the back of a spoon or spatula for even crisping.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes. Start checking at 20 minutes, especially for thinner chips. They should be golden brown around the edges and set in the middle. Optionally, flip the chips halfway through baking to crisp both sides but be careful to watch closely after 25 minutes to prevent burning.
  6. Cooling Period: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes. This allows them to firm up and become perfectly crispy.
  7. Serve or Store: Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later snacking.

Notes

  • Draining the cottage cheese is key for achieving crisp, not soggy, chips.
  • The egg is optional but helps with binding and adds protein.
  • Flatten chips evenly for consistent crispiness.
  • Watch chips closely near the end of baking to avoid burning.
  • These chips can be stored in an airtight container but are best eaten fresh for optimal crispness.
