Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup small curd cottage cheese (4% fat recommended, good culture brand)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Everything but the Bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Prepare Cottage Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup small curd cottage cheese and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning throughout the cheese.
- Portion Chips: Using a tablespoon, scoop the cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Space each scoop about 1 inch apart to allow for even baking and spreading.
- Flatten Mixture: With the back of the spoon, gently flatten each mound of cottage cheese to ensure they are uniform in thickness. This helps them bake evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
- Season Chips: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of Everything but the Bagel seasoning evenly over the flattened cheese mounds to add a flavorful, savory crust.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Watch closely toward the end; the chips are done when they start to turn golden brown around the edges.
- Cool Completely: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the chips to cool completely on the parchment paper. Cooling is essential to help them crisp up and to make removing them easier.
- Serve: Once cooled, gently lift the chips from the parchment paper. Serve with your favorite dip and enjoy your crunchy, protein-packed snack!
Notes
- Ensure chips are flattened evenly for uniform baking and crispiness.
- Baking time may vary depending on your oven; monitor the chips closely after 30 minutes.
- Allow chips to cool completely as they will firm up and become crispier once cooled.
- Try different seasonings or dips for variety.
- Use small curd cottage cheese as it works best for forming chips.
