Ingredients
  

Cottage Cheese Chips Ingredients
  • 1 cup Full-Fat Cottage Cheese 4% milkfat small-curd. Do not use fat-free.
  • 1 teaspoon Coarsely Ground Black Pepper Adds visual contrast and sharp flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Green Parsley Flakes Do not use fresh parsley, as it contains too much water.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Olive Oil Cooking Spray Used very lightly to prep the parchment paper.

Equipment

  • 1 Metallic Baking Sheet Essential for proper heat conduction to achieve crispy edges.
  • 1 White Parchment Paper Crucial to prevent the melted cheese from sticking to the pan.
  • 1 Measuring Spoons Used to portion the cottage cheese evenly for consistent baking.

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Position the baking rack in the center of the oven. Line a large metallic baking sheet with high-quality white parchment paper and lightly mist it with olive oil cooking spray.
  2. Using a measuring spoon, scoop exactly 1 tablespoon (15g) portions of the full-fat cottage cheese onto the parchment paper, leaving 2 inches (5cm) of space between each mound. Gently press down to flatten the curds slightly.
  3. Sprinkle the coarsely ground black pepper and tiny green dried parsley flakes evenly over the flattened cheese mounds. Press the seasonings very gently into the curds.
  4. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes. Watch closely after 15 minutes. The chips are done when they form a thin golden brown center, a bubbly lacy cheese texture, and dark crispy browned edges.
  5. Remove the metallic baking sheet from the oven. Let the chips rest undisturbed on the white parchment paper for 10 to 15 minutes. They will become intensely crunchy and savory as they cool. Peel carefully to serve.

Notes

Tip 1: If your cottage cheese is very wet, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve for 5 minutes before portioning.
Tip 2: Do not try to move the chips while they are hot; they only crisp up during the cooling phase.
