Base
- 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)
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Strain the Cottage Cheese: Strain the cottage cheese using a fine mesh strainer and gently pat it dry with a paper towel until it feels slightly dry to the touch, ensuring extra crunchiness.
- Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the strained cottage cheese with onion powder if using, mixing evenly.
- Shape the Chips: Scoop tablespoons of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop. Flatten each gently into thin rounds using the back of a spoon.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle each round with everything bagel seasoning if desired, for an extra layer of flavor.
- Bake: Bake the chips for 30 to 40 minutes, checking closely after 25 minutes. Bake until the edges are golden and the centers are dry.
- Cool to Crisp: Allow the chips to cool completely on the parchment paper; this helps them crisp up fully before removing.
- Serve: Serve with your favorite dip such as tzatziki, ranch, or yogurt dip if desired, for a tasty snack experience.
Notes
- For extra crunch, don’t skip straining the cottage cheese.
- Get creative with spices—try smoked paprika, garlic salt, or even cinnamon for a sweet version.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and re-crisp in the oven before serving to maintain texture.
