The ultimate crunchy snack. The key is patience—let them cool!
You can use our ranch recipe to sprinkle on top for flavor or use. Store bought ranch or simply some granulated garlic or even zaatar.
These go from nice and golden to burnt pretty fast. So keep a close eye starting at the 20 minute mark. Different cottage cheese brands will cook at different paces.
You don’t need to strain the cottage unless it is particularly watery. Pour off the excess water before spooning it out.
2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Chips
Yield about 12 chips. Serve as is or with a marinara sauce or even salsa. I liked making or using a ranch seasoning but you can also try za’atar or everything bagel seasoning or any other favorite.
