How to Make Cottage Cheese Chips
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese
- Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Add salt and any desired seasonings, then mix well.
Step 3: Shape the Chips
- Spoon small dollops (about 1 tbsp each) onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Use the back of a spoon to spread each into thin circles (about 2 inches wide).
