Keto Cottage Cheese Chips
These savory keto cottage cheese chips bake into crisp, golden rounds with a delicate crunch. Simply portion whole milk curds on parchment and bake until browned for an easy snack.
Equipment
- Large cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
- 1 tbsp cookie scoop
- Metal spoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk small curds cottage cheese (4% milkfat) (256 g)
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350°F (177°C) and cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. The parchment should lie flat so the rounds can release cleanly after cooling.
- Scoop the cottage cheese onto the lined sheet with a 1 tbsp cookie scoop, leaving about 2 inches between portions, then flatten each mound with the back of a metal spoon to 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick. Keep the rounds even and sprinkle on any optional seasoning now, before the surface begins to melt.
- Bake for about 40 to 50 min, checking from 20 min onward and watching closely near the end. The curds will first look bubbly as whey releases, then the surface and edges should turn golden to medium brown, with darker brown edges for the crunchiest result.
- Leave the baked rounds on the sheet until fully cool, about 20 to 30 min. Hot chips remain pliable and parchment-bound, but cooled chips should feel rigid and make an audible snap when broken.
Notes
Moisture tip: If curds have pooled whey in the container, blot the surface gently with paper towels before scooping to prevent excess moisture from creating soft centers. Cooling cue: Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet for 20 to 30 minutes, as they only firm up and achieve an audible snap once cold. Storage: Keep cooled chips in an airtight container or sealed bag in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from softening them. Re-crisping: If the chips lose their crispness, arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and warm briefly in the oven until dry, then cool fully before serving.
