Base Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese – Use full-fat for the best texture and crispiness.
- ¼ teaspoon salt – Enhances the natural cheesy flavor.
- Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder – Adds a savory depth.
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika – Adds a subtle smoky flavor.
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper – For a mild kick.
- ½ teaspoon nutritional yeast – Boosts the cheesy flavor especially if you prefer a dairy-free twist.
- Everything bagel seasoning – A crunchy flavorful topping option.
Equipment Needed:
- Parchment paper – Helps prevent sticking and promotes uniform baking.
- Baking sheet – A flat surface for perfect crisping.
- Spoon or piping bag – Helps evenly portion out the chips.
- Oven or air fryer – Both methods work; choose based on your preference.
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Step 2: Blend for a Smooth Texture
In a blender or food processor, blend 1 cup of cottage cheese until you achieve a smooth consistency.
If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can skip this step and stir the cottage cheese well with a spoon.
Step 3: Season and Portion
Add salt and any optional seasonings to the blended mixture, then mix well.
Using a spoon or piping bag, drop small, even portions onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use the back of a spoon to spread each portion into a thin, circular shape—this helps achieve that perfect crisp.
Step 4: Bake or Air Fry
Oven Method: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
Air Fryer Method: Cook for 12-15 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
Once baked, let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet—this helps them firm up.
Carefully remove and enjoy your homemade cottage cheese chips as a snack or with your favorite dips!
