Ingredients
Main Ingredient
- 1 cup small curd cottage cheese (preferably 4% milk fat)
Optional Seasonings
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder (optional; or substitute with garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (optional topping)
For Serving
- ¼ cup your favorite dip (optional; e.g. tzatziki, ranch, or yogurt dip)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Strain Cottage Cheese: Strain the cottage cheese using a fine mesh strainer. Gently pat it dry with a paper towel until it feels slightly dry to the touch.
- Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix the strained cottage cheese with onion powder, if using, until evenly combined.
- Form Chips: Scoop tablespoons of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Flatten gently into thin rounds using the back of a spoon.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle each round with everything bagel seasoning, if desired.
- Bake: Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, watching closely after 25 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are dry.
- Cool Completely: Allow the chips to cool completely on the parchment paper. This step helps them crisp up fully before removal.
Notes
- Ensure the cottage cheese is well-strained and patted dry to achieve the best crispiness.
- Watch closely after 25 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- Customize the seasonings to suit your taste preference, e.g., garlic powder or smoked paprika.
- Serve with your favorite dips like tzatziki, ranch, or yogurt-based dips for added flavor.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
