  • Smoked paprika
  • Ranch seasoning
  • Everything Bagel seasoning
  • Chili flakes
  • Sea salt & cracked black pepper

How to Make Cottage Cheese Chips

You don’t need fancy equipment—just an oven or air fryer and a little parchment paper.

Oven Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (don’t skip this or the chips will stick!).
3. Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of cottage cheese onto the parchment. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon to form a thin, even circle.
4. Sprinkle your favorite seasonings on top.
5. Bake for 25–35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
6. Let them cool completely before peeling off the paper—they’ll firm up as they cool.

Air Fryer Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C).
2. Line the air fryer tray with parchment (or use a silicone mat).
3. Drop and flatten the cottage cheese just like in the oven method.
4. Air fry for 12–15 minutes until they’re golden and crisp.
5. Let cool completely before removing.

Pro Tips for Perfect Chips:

• Thin is key – the thinner you spread the cottage cheese, the crispier the result.
• Don’t overcrowd – leave space between each chip so they bake evenly.
• Let them cool – they continue crisping up as they cool, so don’t skip this step.
• Storage – store in an airtight container for 1–2 days, but they’re best fresh!
