Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese (4% milkfat)
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Additional Ingredients:
- Cooking spray or parchment paper for baking
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F and positioning a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal.
- Utilize a tablespoon scoop to portion cottage cheese dollops onto the prepared sheet, maintaining approximately 2-inch spacing between each portion.
- Gently flatten each dollop using the back of a spoon, creating uniform discs measuring roughly 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick, and optionally dust with desired seasonings.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and monitor the transformation for 40-50 minutes, watching carefully during the final 10-15 minutes to achieve a golden to medium brown surface indicating optimal crispness.
- After removing from the oven, allow the chips to rest and solidify on the baking sheet for 20-30 minutes, enabling them to develop a satisfying crunch.
- Transfer the cooled cottage cheese chips to a serving plate or airtight container, consuming within a few hours to maintain maximum crispness and prevent softening.
Notes
- Precision matters when flattening cottage cheese scoops, ensuring uniform thickness for consistent crispiness across all chips.
- Experiment with different seasonings like dried herbs, garlic powder, or nutritional yeast to customize flavor profiles and keep the snack exciting.
- Choose full-fat cottage cheese for richer texture and better crisping, as lower fat varieties might result in less satisfying chips.
- Watch chips closely during final baking stage to prevent burning, as ovens can vary in temperature and performance.
