Description
These Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips are the perfect high-protein, low-carb, and keto-friendly snack! Light, crunchy, and packed with cheesy flavor, they make a great alternative to traditional chips. Made with just one main ingredient—cottage cheese—plus your favorite seasonings, they’re simple to bake, air-fry, or dehydrate. Enjoy them on their own, pair them with dips, or use them as a crunchy topping for soups and salads!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for best texture)
- ½ tsp salt (optional, depending on taste)
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- ½ tsp paprika (optional, for a smoky taste)
- Black pepper or red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Cottage Cheese
- Blend the cottage cheese – For smoother chips, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor for about 30 seconds.
- Strain if needed – If your cottage cheese is watery, strain it using a cheesecloth or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Shape and Season
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Stir in salt, garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite seasonings to the blended cottage cheese.
- Use a spoon or piping bag to drop small circles of the mixture onto the baking sheet. Spread them thin for a crispier texture.
Step 3: Bake Until Crispy
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy.
- Let them cool for 5-10 minutes—they will crisp up even more as they cool.
- Enjoy with your favorite dip, salad, or as a crunchy topping!
Notes
- Air Fryer Method: Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Dehydrator Method: Spread thinly on a dehydrator sheet and dry at 140°F (60°C) for 6-8 hours until crisp.
- Crispier Chips Tip: The thinner the spread, the crispier the chips!
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Re-crisp in the oven if needed.
