Step 3

Spoon small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound into a thin round (about 2 inches in diameter).

Step 4

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes; they will continue to crisp up.

Step 5

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy your crunchy, high-protein chips!

For best results

  • For extra crunch, use full-fat cottage cheese and pat it dry with a paper towel before mixing.
  • Make sure to flatten the mounds thinly; thicker chips will be chewy instead of crispy.
  • Experiment with seasonings like smoked paprika, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.

Variations

  • Spicy: Add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Everything Bagel: Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning before baking.
  • Cheesy Herb: Use 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella and 1 tsp dried basil.

Common Questions

Yes! Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, checking halfway through.
How do I store leftover chips?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
Are these chips keto-friendly?
Absolutely! With low carbs and high fat (if using full-fat cottage cheese), they fit a keto diet perfectly.
