Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (drain excess liquid for best results)
- Parchment paper (to prevent sticking)
- Light oil spray (to enhance crispiness)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cottage cheese from sticking.
- Drain Cottage Cheese: Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, drain the excess liquid from the cottage cheese to ensure the chips become crispy rather than soggy.
- Form Chips: Scoop small mounds of the drained cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten them slightly to form chip shapes.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cottage cheese mounds for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven, allow them to cool completely, then break apart into chip-sized pieces and serve as a healthy snack.
Notes
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain their crunch.
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray the formed cottage cheese mounds with light oil before baking.
- These chips can be seasoned with your favorite spices before baking for added flavor.
- Consume within 2-3 days for best texture and freshness.
