Let’s Get Your Ingredients Ready

• 1 cup small-curd, full-fat cottage cheese (This is KEY for creaminess!)
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (The pre-grated kind works perfectly here)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (Trust me on this!)
• A tiny pinch of salt (Go easy, the cheeses are salty)
• Optional for serving: Everything Bagel Seasoning or a sprinkle of fresh chives

Bringing This Recipe to Life (Step-by-Step)

1

First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This is non-negotiable for no-stick success!

2

Now, grab your food processor or blender. Plop in the cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and that tiny pinch of salt.

3

Blend it! Pulse until the mixture is completely smooth. It should look like a thick, creamy batter. No lumps allowed! This is the secret to the perfect crisp.

4

Time to create your chips! Spoon the batter onto your prepared sheet. Make little circles, about 1 tablespoon each. Spread them out thinly with the back of your spoon. They don’t have to be perfect!

5

Bake for 15-20 minutes. You’re looking for gorgeous golden-brown edges and a firm, dry center. The smell will drive you wild.

6

Let them cool on the sheet for at least 10 minutes. This is the hardest part, but it’s crucial! They crisp up SO much as they cool. Be strong!

7

Sprinkle with your favorite topping if you like, and then… ATTACK. Enjoy that incredible crunch.

Fun Variations to Try Next Time

Once you master the basic recipe, the fun really begins! Here are my favorite twists. For another classic crispy snack idea, our Crispy Homemade Potato Chips: Easy Snack Recipe is always a hit.

Try adding 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter before blending. It gives an extra cheesy punch that is unbelievable.

For a little kick, mix in 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper. Spicy cheese chips? Yes, please!

Make them “Everything” chips! After you spoon them onto the sheet, sprinkle the tops generously with Everything Bagel Seasoning before baking. It’s a flavor explosion.

How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat

Good luck having leftovers! But if you do, here’s how to keep them fantastic.

Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. They might soften a bit, but a quick trip back to the oven fixes that!

To reheat, pop them on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes, or just use your air fryer for 2-3 minutes. They’ll come back crispy and perfect.

I don’t recommend freezing the baked chips, but you can freeze the batter! Portion it into a freezer bag for a future “instant snack” win.
