In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound into a thin, even circle (about 1/8 inch thick) using the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Spray the tops lightly with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 5

Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes; they will continue to crisp up. Serve with tomato salsa or your favorite dip. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

For best results

  • For extra crispiness, use full-fat cottage cheese and drain any excess liquid before mixing.
  • If using an air fryer, cook at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crunch.

Variations

  • Spicy: Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Cheesy: Mix in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Herb: Substitute Italian seasoning with ranch seasoning or everything bagel seasoning.

Common Questions

Can I make these cottage cheese chips in an air fryer?
Yes! Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the flattened mounds in the basket in a single layer, spray with oil, and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
How do I prevent the chips from sticking?
Use parchment paper or a silicone mat, and make sure to spray both the paper and the tops of the chips with olive oil.
Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
Yes, but the chips may be slightly less crispy. For best results, drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese before mixing.
