Move over potato chips—there’s a new viral snack in town! Cottage cheese chips have exploded in popularity across TikTok and Instagram for their surprising crunch, high protein content, and versatility. Whether you’re following a keto lifestyle or just looking for a healthier snack to replace processed chips, this recipe is simple and endlessly customizable.
🧂 Ingredients:
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)
- Everything bagel seasoning, za’atar, or your favorite spice blend
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
🔪 Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), or preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) if using that method.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Scoop small dollops (about 1 teaspoon each) of cottage cheese onto the baking sheet, spacing them at least an inch apart.
- Season each chip with your favorite spice blend or keep it plain for dipping later.
- Bake for 25–35 minutes (or air fry for 12–15 minutes), until the chips are golden-brown and crisp around the edges. Timing may vary depending on the moisture content of your cottage cheese.
- Let them cool completely—they will crisp up more as they cool.
🥑 Serving Ideas:
- Dip in salsa, guacamole, or Greek yogurt dip
- Crumble on top of salads for crunch
- Eat as-is for a protein-rich snack
🧠 Pro Tips:
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best crisp texture.
- Avoid overcrowding the tray—more space = more crunch.
- Want them extra crispy? Let the chips cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 10 minutes.
Whether you’re low-carb, gluten-free, or just snack-curious, cottage cheese chips are a crunchy, cheesy revelation you’ll be making again and again.
