Step 3

Spoon small dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each dollop into a thin, even round using the back of a spoon or your finger.

Step 4

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 5

Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes; they will continue to crisp up. Serve immediately with your favorite dip or enjoy on their own. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

For best results

  • For extra crispiness, spread the mixture as thin as possible.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture; low-fat versions may result in less crispy chips.
  • Experiment with seasonings like smoked paprika, onion powder, or chili flakes for different flavor variations.

Variations

  • Add 1 tablespoon of everything bagel seasoning for a savory twist.
  • Swap Parmesan for nutritional yeast to make it dairy-free (note: texture may vary).
  • Top with a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

Common Questions

Can I use an air fryer instead of an oven?
Yes! Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and cook the chips in a single layer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
How do I store leftover chips?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To re-crisp, place them in a 300°F oven for 3-5 minutes.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. They keep well and can be made a day in advance. Just re-crisp before serving if needed.
