Cottage Cheese Chips (Printable)

Crispy baked chips from seasoned cottage cheese — high protein, low carb, and irresistibly crunchy.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 1 cup cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat

→ Seasonings

02 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend for 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
03 - Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a mixing bowl. Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all seasonings are evenly incorporated.
04 - Drop small, even mounds of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each mound into circles approximately 2 inches wide, leaving space between each one.
05 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the chips are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
06 - Allow chips to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes to become fully crisp. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They deliver that addictive potato chip crunch without a single gram of guilt or regret afterward.
  • The entire recipe needs just six ingredients and one baking tray, so cleanup is basically nonexistent.
  • Each serving packs fifteen grams of protein, making them genuinely satisfying rather than just empty snacking.
02 -
  • If you skip the blending step and try mixing by hand, the curds will leave wet spots that never fully crisp, leaving you with soggy patches instead of uniform crunch.
  • Crowding the tray is the number one mistake because these chips need hot air circulating around each one to dry out and become truly crispy.
03 -
  • Flipping each chip gently halfway through the baking time produces an noticeably more even, shattering crunch on both sides.
  • Patience during the cooling phase is the real secret ingredient here because the chips continue to crisp dramatically as they sit.
