Description
These Cottage Cheese Chips are a high-protein, low-carb snack made from just one main ingredient—cottage cheese! Crispy, customizable, and oven-baked, they’re the perfect guilt-free chip alternative for keto, low-carb, or high-protein snackers looking for a crunchy bite that satisfies.
Ingredients
- Cottage cheese (preferably full-fat, small curd)
- Optional seasonings:
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika or smoked paprika
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, Italian blend)
- Salt and pepper
- Parmesan (optional, for cheesy flavor)
- Cayenne or chili flakes (for heat)
- Cinnamon and sweetener (for sweet variation)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
If the cottage cheese is too wet, blot it with a paper towel or strain slightly. Optional: blend for a smoother chip texture.
Spoon cottage cheese onto the baking sheet using a tablespoon, spacing dollops an inch apart.
Flatten each one into a thin round disc, about 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle with seasonings of choice (e.g., everything bagel seasoning, paprika, herbs).
Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until edges are golden and crispy.
Let cool completely on the baking sheet to allow chips to firm up before removing.
Notes
- Full-fat cottage cheese works best for texture and crispiness.
- Sweet variation: add cinnamon and a low-carb sweetener like monk fruit.
- Blended cottage cheese creates smoother, more uniform chips.
- Chips will crisp further as they cool—don’t overbake.
