If you thought cottage cheese bagels were all the rage, wait until you try my cottage cheese chips. As the name suggests, they are a crispy, savory snack that is high in protein and low in carbs.
Like my parmesan crisps or cheese chips, they need just one ingredient to make. I had to test this recipe many times to ensure the chips baked correctly and crisped up nicely (many versions yield soggy or limp chips). They don’t need any seasonings, but I like adding some bagel seasoning or garlic flakes.
Key Ingredients
- Cottage cheese. I prefer using full-fat cottage cheese, as it yields crispier chips, too. Low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese will work, but I suggest removing excess moisture.
- Seasonings. Anything and everything! I like everything but the bagel seasoning, but sesame, poppy, or garlic flakes will all work.
How to make cottage cheese chips
Step 1- Drop one-tablespoon portions of cottage cheese onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with seasonings.
Step 2- Bake the chips for 30 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Let the cottage cheese chips cool on the pan completely.
Arman’s cottage cheese chips tips
- Let the chips cool completely. I don’t recommend removing them from the baking sheet when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Allow room for spreading. Yes, these are like cookies and will spread. Allow 2 inches between each chip.
- Remove excess moisture. The more liquid in each mound of cottage cheese, the more it leaks and burns around the edges. If needed, sieve the cottage cheese first.
- Adjust the baking time. My cottage cheese chips took precisely 35 minutes to make in my oven. I suggest checking on your chips at the 25-minute mark to be safe.
- Don’t store for later. These chips need to be enjoyed fresh. They lose their crispiness once refrigerated.

Frequently asked questions
No, please do not microwave the chips. They will pop and create a watery mess, and you’ll have wasted the cottage cheese.
Very easy to make but for me most important the satisfyingly delicious 😋 taste so hits the spot
thank you 🙏❤️
Hi, Can I use air fryer for the cottage cheese chips? Because I don’t have an oven at the moment.
You could, but you’ll need to line the base of it with parchment paper. The cottage cheese chips will seep through if you don’t.
