Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup (256 g) whole milk small curds cottage cheese (4% milkfat)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Scoop and flatten the cottage cheese: Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the cottage cheese and drop it onto the lined baking sheet. Space each scoop about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading. Using the back of a metal spoon, gently flatten each mound to about 3/16 to 1/4 inch thickness. If you want, sprinkle seasonings on top now.
- Bake the chips: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Start checking around 20 minutes to monitor progress. Look for edges that are dark brown and surfaces that range from golden to medium brown. The browner the chips become, the crunchier they will be. Watch closely toward the end to prevent burning.
- Cool the chips: Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool completely for about 20 to 30 minutes. This resting time helps them set fully and become firm and crispy. Avoid eating them while still warm as they will be soft.
- Store or serve: Enjoy the chips once fully cooled. If not eating immediately, store them in an airtight container or sealed bag for a few hours to maintain crunch. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze leftovers to preserve texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Baking times may vary depending on how thinly you flatten the cottage cheese – thinner chips bake faster and are crispier.
- Adding seasonings such as salt, pepper, or herbs before baking can add extra flavor.
- Do not eat the chips while warm as they will be soft and not fully set.
- Store chips in airtight containers to maintain crispiness; refrigeration or freezing helps extend shelf life.
- Use whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat) for best results and texture.
