How to Make Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips
Here’s a step-by-step guide to making perfect cottage cheese chips.
Oven Method:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Blend your cottage cheese (if it’s not already whipped) until smooth and creamy.
Add your seasonings and mix well.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Spoon small dollops (about 1 tablespoon each) of the mixture onto the sheet, leaving space between each.
Flatten each scoop with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake for 30–40 minutes or until golden and crisp around the edges.
Cool completely on the baking sheet. The chips will crisp up more as they cool.
Air Fryer Method:
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Use the same blending and seasoning process.
Drop small spoonfuls onto parchment rounds or the air fryer tray.
Air fry for 8–12 minutes, checking for browning and crispness.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before enjoying.
Tips for Success
Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor.
Blend well for even chips—lumps will bake unevenly.
Don’t overcrowd the tray. Give each chip enough space to spread and crisp.
Watch closely during the last 5–10 minutes. They can go from golden to burnt quickly.
Cool completely before storing. This prevents sogginess.
Flavor Variations
Once you get the basics down, you can start experimenting with exciting flavors. Here are some crowd-pleasing combinations:
Spicy Chipotle
Add chipotle powder, smoked paprika, and chili flakes.
Garlic Parmesan
Mix in garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and dried oregano.
Ranch Twist
Blend in ranch seasoning mix and cracked black pepper.
Everything Bagel
Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning before baking.
Herbed Delight
Use Italian seasoning, basil, and parsley for a Mediterranean vibe.
Sweet Version? Yes!
While these chips are mostly savory, adventurous foodies can try a sweet version:
Add a touch of cinnamon, vanilla extract, and stevia or monk fruit to the blended cottage cheese.
Bake as usual.
The result is a lightly sweet, crispy treat—great with nut butters or fruit dips.
