Cottage Cheese Chips
These cottage cheese chips are crispy, savory, and protein-packed. Made with just a handful of ingredients, they’re perfect for low-carb snacking or as a healthier alternative to regular chips.
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese small curd
- ¼ tsp salt optional
- ½ tsp garlic powder optional
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika optional
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet or air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the cottage cheese with salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (or your favorite seasonings).
- Scoop small spoonfuls (about 1–1.5 teaspoons each) onto the parchment, spacing them 1 inch apart.
- Flatten each scoop gently with the back of a spoon into coin-sized circles.
- Bake in the oven for 25–35 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set. In the air fryer, cook in batches for 12–15 minutes.
- Cool completely before peeling off the parchment. They crisp up as they cool.
Notes
- Use full-fat and small-curd cottage cheese for the best crispiness and flavor.
- If your cottage cheese is watery, drain off some of the liquid before scooping.
- Let the chips cool fully before storing—this helps them stay crisp.
- Store in an airtight container at room temp for 1–2 days, or re-crisp in a toaster oven if needed.
