Instructions

Preheat Oven or Air Fryer:

Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
-
Air Fryer: Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
-
-
Blend the Cottage Cheese:
Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth (about 30–60 seconds). This helps the chips bake evenly. -
Line Baking Tray:
Line a baking sheet or air fryer tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. -
Portion the Chips:
Spoon or pipe small circles (about 2 inches wide) of the blended cottage cheese onto the tray, leaving space between each. Use the back of the spoon to flatten slightly. -
Season:
Sprinkle each round with your chosen seasonings for added flavor. -
Bake or Air Fry:
-
Oven: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
-
Air Fryer: Air fry for 10–15 minutes, checking around 10 minutes to prevent burning.
-
-
Cool and Serve:
Let chips cool on the tray for 5–10 minutes. They’ll crisp up more as they cool.
Notes
Blending Is Key: Blended cottage cheese creates a smoother chip texture.
Custom Flavors: Add parmesan, chili powder, ranch seasoning, or Italian herbs.
Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Re-crisp in the oven or air fryer if needed.
Dipping Ideas: Great with guacamole, salsa, hummus, or Greek yogurt dip.
