How to Make Cottage Cheese Chips

• Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. To prevent from sticking, you may need spray parchment paper with an oil spray.

Step 2 – Scoop the whole milk cottage cheese onto the baking sheet in a heaping tablespoon amount.

Step 3 – Then gently flatten it out onto the pan with a spoon. Make sure that the chips are at least 1 inch a part on the baking sheet. 

Step 4 – If you are using any optional seasoning, sprinkle it on top of the chips evenly. 

Step 5 – Bake for 22-25 minutes until the chips start to brown around the edges. Start checking the chips after 22 minutes and then continue to check them every 2 minutes until the chips are golden brown around the edges.

• Step 6 – Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet and then they are ready to remove and enjoy! 

Recipe Tips

• Same Size – Make sure that the chips are approximately the same size so that they cook evenly when baking.  
• Cooking Time – Watch them closely while they are cooking as they will brown very quickly.  
• Adding to Baking Sheet – Make sure to give plenty of space between the serving so it gives space for the chips to spread.
• Cool Completely – After removing the chips from the oven, allow them to cool completely before removing from the baking sheet.

Variations Ideas

• Spicy – If you like these chips to be spicy add ½ tsp of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
• Cheesy – For a delicious topping, sprinkle parmesan cheese right before baking.
• Hint of Sweetness – For a combination of sweet and savory, sprinkle ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.
• Fresh Herbs – Feel free to add 1 teaspoon of fresh herbs or dried herbs such as Italian Seasoning, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Rosemary or Thyme.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Storing – Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These low carb chips will stay fresh for up to 2-3 days. While storing these chips will lose its crispness and retain moisture.
• Reheating – Place in the oven or the air fryer to reheat and get that crispy texture again.
