Instructions
- Prepare the Cottage Cheese: Thoroughly drain the cottage cheese using a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or paper towels. Press gently to remove excess moisture. Mix in your selected seasonings in a bowl.
- Spread the Cheese: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the drained and seasoned cottage cheese in a thin, even layer on the parchment paper. Ensure there aren’t thick clumps.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-35 minutes. Keep a close eye on the chips for a golden-brown color and crispy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Once the baked cottage cheese snacks are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them into chip-sized pieces. Serve and enjoy!
