Oven Method
- 1 cup cottage cheese
Microwave Method
- 1 cup cottage cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Cottage Cheese: Drain the excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. This step helps the chips crisp up better.
- Form Chips: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, place small mounds of cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound with the back of a spoon to form thin, round chips. Leave space between each for even baking.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Cool and Serve: Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool. Transfer the cooled chips to a serving plate and enjoy as a snack or with your favorite dip.
- Microwave Method
- Prepare the Parchment Paper: Lightly spray parchment paper (cut to fit your microwave plate) with oil.
- Prepare Cottage Cheese: Drain the excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
- Microwave: Spread an even layer of cottage cheese onto the prepared parchment paper. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture turns golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary based on your microwave’s power, so watch closely to prevent burning.
- Cool and Break: Carefully remove the parchment paper from the microwave and let it cool for a few minutes. Break the cooled mixture into snack-sized pieces and enjoy.
