These cottage cheese chips are an easy, high-protein, low-carb snack. Made with just 2 simple ingredients, they bake up crispy in the oven for a delicious snack with no frying required.
Holly’s Crispy Highlights
- Flavor: These chips are cheesy and savory with irresistibly crispy edges. Customize them with your favorite seasonings, from everything bagel to ranch, for endless flavor options.
- Skill Level: These are so easy to make. Just drain, scoop, and bake.
- Recommended Tools: A cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer is best for pressing excess moisture from the cottage cheese.
- Swaps and Mix-Ins: Use your favorite seasoning. Try southwest seasoning or a keto taco seasoning recipe.
- Serving Suggestions: The perfect addition to a snack board, or use these for a tasty keto minestrone soup topper. These are the ideal crunchy cracker or chip swap.
High-Protein Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese: Keto-friendly, full-fat, small or large-curd cottage cheese makes for the crispiest chips, but any milk-fat variety works.
- Seasonings: The sky is the limit for cottage cheese chip seasonings. Keep it simple with an everything bagel seasoning, or go for a garlic-herb blend. Chia seeds, poppyseeds, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes are all easy, one-ingredient options to mix in.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Chips
- Remove excess moisture from cottage cheese (full recipe below).
- Drop portions onto a prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly.
- Sprinkle with desired seasonings and bake until crispy and golden.
Holly’s Crunch-Worthy Tips
- The key to perfectly crispy cottage cheese chips is to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Flatten them to a uniform thickness and make sure there’s enough space between them for air to circulate as they bake.
- Use a small cookie scoop to measure portions uniformly, and line the baking sheet with parchment paper, not foil.
- Check your chips about 5 minutes before the timer goes off to see if they need more time, if the pan should be rotated for even baking, or if they’re ready to pull.
- Let them cool completely before enjoying for extra crispiness.
Store, Reheat, Re-Crisp
- Room Temp: These are best eaten the same day for peak crunchiness.
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 4 days. Place a paper towel in the container to absorb moisture.
- Re-crisp: Bake at 325℉ for 5 to 8 minutes, then cool completely.
- Freeze: Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a zippered freezer bag. They will keep their flavor for up to 1 month. Thaw, then re-crisp in the oven as above for the best texture.
