Crispy One-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Chips
These incredibly simple cottage cheese chips require just one ingredient and transform into golden, crispy snacks packed with protein. Perfect for keto diets or anyone looking for a healthier chip alternative.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese 4% milkfat, small curd
- Optional: Everything bagel seasoning garlic powder, or herbs for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with high-quality parchment paper.
- Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each scoop about 2 inches apart.
- Use the back of a metal spoon to gently flatten each portion to about 1/4 inch thickness, creating chip-sized rounds.
- If desired, sprinkle your chosen seasonings evenly over each flattened portion.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, checking after 20 minutes. Continue baking until the edges are dark brown and the centers are golden brown. The darker they get, the crispier they'll be.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet for 20-30 minutes. The chips will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once fully cooled and set, carefully remove chips from parchment paper and enjoy immediately.
