Baking the Chips

Oven Preparation
Set the Temperature
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Drain the Cottage Cheese
Use a fine-mesh sieve or paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy chips.
Mix the Seasonings
In a bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure even seasoning.
Shape the Chips
Spoon tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them into thin, round shapes for even baking.
Bake to Crisp Perfection
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Cool Before Serving
Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet. This step helps them firm up and reach their maximum crunch.

Cottage cheese chips became a favorite in my house because they’re light yet filling. My kids love them with different seasonings, and I always make a big batch to keep on hand. They also work as a fun alternative to crackers for dips!

Storage and Reheating

Keeping Your Chips Fresh
