Crunchy Cottage Cheese Chips (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup of small curd, 4% milkfat cottage cheese.

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F and get a large baking sheet covered with parchment.
02 - Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of cottage cheese onto the sheet, leaving a 2-inch gap. Press each to about a quarter-inch thickness.
03 - Sprinkle any extra spices or seasonings right on top of the pressed cheese.
04 - Bake for 40–50 minutes until the sides are darker brown and the tops have a golden to mid-brown color. Check them around the 35-minute mark.
05 - Let them sit for 20 to 30 minutes until they’ve hardened and are really crunchy.

# Notes:

01 - Go for cottage cheese with no less than 14g of protein in a half-cup serving.
02 - Don’t make lots at once; leftovers lose their crispness in the fridge.
03 - To get them crispy again, toss them quickly in the oven.
