How to Make Cottage Cheese Chips
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 g) cottage cheese (full fat recommended)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the baking sheet with oil spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Drain any excess liquid on top of the cottage cheese. If you like, mix the cheese with your favorite seasonings for added flavor.
- Scoop one tablespoon portions of cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart. Remember, they will spread while baking.
- Flatten each ball into thin rounds, aiming for a thickness of about 0.2 inches (0.5 cm).
- Bake in the middle rack of your hot oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until they are crispy. Keep an eye on them; do not overcook, or they will become tough.
- Once done, let the chips cool at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
