🥣 How to Make These Chips
Step 1: Prep & Shape
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop about 1.5 tablespoons of cottage cheese onto the sheet, then flatten each portion to about 3/16 to ¼ inch thick.
Step 2: Add Toppings & Bake
Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of Parmesan over each chip and top with Everything Bagel seasoning if desired. Bake for 30 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Step 3: COOL & ENJOY
Let the chips cool completely—this helps them get even crispier!
📖 Storage Instructions
Once cooled, store the chips in an airtight container to maintain their crunch. If stacking, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerator: Keep them for up to a week.
- Freezer: Store for up to a month. Reheat in a hot oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
Recipe Variations
- Onion and Garlic flavor – Add a sprinkle of garlic and onion powder before baking.
- Spicy Chips – Mix in a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a little heat.
- Herb-Infused – Try adding dried oregano, basil, and or chives for a herby twist.
👩🏻🍳 Expert Tips
- Use Whole Milk Cottage Cheese – Whole Milk Cottage Cheese is higher in protein and contains less moisture. And this helps the chips to become crispier. If your cottage cheese contains moisture, use a fine mesh strainer to get rid of all the extra liquid.
- Bake Until Deeply Golden – The chips will continue to crisp up as they cool, but make sure the edges are dark golden for the best crunch. Every oven is different; if after 30 minutes, your chips are still not golden on the edges, bake them a bit longer.
- Let Them Cool Completely – It is important to leave the chips to cool down completely because during the cooling process, the chips become crispier.
