Description

A high-protein, low-carb snack made with just cottage cheese and optional seasonings, baked until crispy. Perfect for keto diets and quick snacking.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole‑milk cottage cheese (small curds, ideally around 4% milk fat)
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, everything‑bagel seasoning, dried herbs, or grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with high‑quality parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Use a 1 Tbsp scoop or spoon to place dollops of cottage cheese on the sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  4. Flatten each scoop to about 3⁄16–¼ inch thick using the back of a metal spoon.
  5. Sprinkle desired seasonings on top.
  6. Bake for 40–50 minutes, starting to check around 20 minutes, until edges are dark brown and centers are medium‑gold.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely for 20–30 minutes. Chips will firm up as they cool.
  8. Enjoy once fully cooled. Store in an airtight container at room temperature short-term, or in the fridge/freezer for longer storage. Reheat to re-crisp if needed.

Notes

  • Whole-milk, small-curd cottage cheese yields the crispiest chips.
  • Use high-quality parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Thinner chips bake faster and get crunchier.
  • Can be made in the microwave in small batches for a quick snack.
