Homemade Cottage Cheese Chips
A delicious, low-carb, and protein-packed snack made from fresh cottage cheese. These chips are baked to perfection, offering a healthy, crispy alternative to traditional snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese fresh and creamy
- Parchment paper
- Oil spray optional for crispiness
Instructions
Baking in the Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with oil.
- Drain the excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
- Spoon small mounds of cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound to form thin, round chips, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. Once cooled, they will crisp up further.
Microwave Method:
- Cut parchment paper to fit your microwave plate and lightly spray with oil.
- Drain the excess liquid from the cottage cheese.
- Spread an even layer of cottage cheese onto the parchment paper.
- Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Let the chips cool for a few minutes before breaking into snack-sized pieces.
Notes
- Ensure the cottage cheese is thoroughly drained for crispy results.
- For added flavor, try seasoning the cottage cheese before baking or microwaving.
- These chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. To restore crispiness, reheat in the oven or air fryer.
