Ingredients
- 1/2 cup full-fat, small-curd cottage cheese
- Everything bagel seasoning, for serving (optional)
- Aleppo pepper flakes, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Arrange a rack in the center of your oven and preheat it to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the chips evenly.
- Prepare the chips: Scoop heaping teaspoons of cottage cheese onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Using the back of the spoon, spread each scoop into thin, even rounds to ensure crispiness during baking. Sprinkle the tops with your choice of everything bagel seasoning or Aleppo pepper flakes for extra flavor.
- Bake the chips: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cottage cheese rounds for 20 to 25 minutes. Rotate the sheet halfway through baking to promote even browning. Keep a close eye after 20 minutes to prevent burning as the chips develop a golden top and darken around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Once cooled, carefully peel them off the parchment paper. Enjoy as a crispy, flavorful snack!
Notes
- Use full-fat, small-curd cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to taste; Aleppo pepper flakes add mild heat, while everything bagel seasoning provides a savory punch.
- Watch the chips carefully towards the end of baking to avoid burning as thin cottage cheese rounds brown quickly.
- These chips are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, though they may lose crispness.
- You can customize the seasonings with other herbs or spices as desired.
