Tips & Variations

• Try adding garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs for extra flavor.
• Use low-fat cottage cheese if you prefer a lighter chip, though the texture may vary slightly.
• Sprinkle different types of cheese like cheddar or asiago instead of Parmesan for a flavor twist.

Storage

Store any leftover cottage cheese chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to maintain crispness. Avoid refrigerating as moisture can make the chips soggy. Reheat briefly in a warm oven if needed to restore crunch.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese?

Yes, but whole milk cottage cheese yields the best texture and flavor for crispy chips. Low-fat versions may result in less crispiness.

How can I prevent the chips from sticking to the baking sheet?

Be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
