Cottage Cheese Chips
A wholesome, protein-packed snack crafted from cottage cheese and a choice of seasonings, these baked chips deliver a satisfying crunch without the guilt. Ideal for health-conscious snackers seeking a savory, low-carb bite.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Everything but the Bagel seasoning optional
- 1 teaspoon onion powder optional
- 1 cup small curd cottage cheese preferably 4% milk fat
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the onion powder if using, and stir until evenly blended.
- Spoon out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each mound approximately 1 inch apart.
- Using the back of the spoon, gently press each portion to slightly flatten them, ensuring uniform thickness for consistent baking.
- Sprinkle the tops with Everything but the Bagel seasoning if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, keeping an eye on them after the 25-minute mark. Look for golden edges and reduced surface moisture as signs of doneness.
- Once baked, let the chips cool completely on the parchment-lined sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before removing to avoid breakage.
- Serve with your choice of dip and enjoy promptly for optimal crispness.
Notes
A serving equals roughly 6 chips. If making a larger batch, consider half the total for each serving.
Ensure excess moisture is drained from the cottage cheese; blotting with a paper towel helps achieve a crispier texture.
Chips may burn quickly once the liquid evaporates, so monitor closely from the 25-minute point onward.
Using 4% milk fat yields optimal results, though 2% is acceptable. Full-fat versions are ideal for the crispiest outcome.
