What You’ll Need
Ingredient Notes
- Cottage cheese- Use the whole milk, 4% fat cottage cheese for richer flavor and sturdier chips.
- Bagel seasoning- Everything bagel seasoning gives you a little of everything when it comes to flavors on these chips. Buy it pre-mixed, or make your own.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Add other seasonings- Try these chips with onion powder, garlic powder, zaatar, paprika,
- Make them spicy- A sprinkle of cayenne pepper or chili powder will give these cottage cheese chips a nice kick.
- Add cheese- Top your chips with a little shredded cheese for a delicious crispy layer of salty cheese. Cheddar cheese, jack cheese, gouda, and feta cheese are all great options.
- Add some herbs- I suggest trying rosemary or chives on these chips for a flavor boost.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Chips
- Prep the baking sheet and oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Scoop out the cottage cheese. Scoop and dollop a tablespoon of cottage cheese onto the parchment lined baking sheet. You’ll want to place each scoop about 2 inches apart.
- Add seasoning and bake. Flatten the cheese out (1/4 inch thick) and sprinkle the bagel seasoning on top. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Pro Tip: Do not use low fat cottage cheese as it is runnier and thinner, making it hard for the chips to make crispy.
Recipe Tips
- Use good quality cottage cheese- As this is the main ingredient, I suggest using the best. I liked Nancy’s and Good Culture brands when I made mine, but you can use your favorite.
- Avoid low fat cottage cheese- It may be tempting to lighten this snack by lowering the fat, but low fat cottage cheese is too runny for this recipe. Using higher fat versions will give them the heft they need to crisp up and form chips.
- Place them about 2 inches apart- Leaving room between the cottage cheese dollops accounts for spread when we flatten them and also while they cook.
- Adjust bake time- The bake time may vary depending on how thin you flatten out the cheese. I suggest flattening them to about 1/4 inch thick so they are done in 40 minutes.
FAQs
If your cottage cheese chips are not crispy, it could be that you used a lower fat cottage cheese, or that they didn’t bake long enough. 40 minutes in a 325 degree oven should be enough unless the chip is too thick, in which case they need more bake time. Remember, the browner the chip, the more crispy it will be.
Yes, you want to refrigerate your cottage cheese chips because they are made with a dairy ingredient. Storing them in the fridge keeps them fresh and they can be reheated and their crispiness restored in the oven or air fryer.
Serving Suggestions
These Cottage Cheese Chips make a fabulous snack and they taste good with lots of other recipes, like dips, salads, soups, and sandwiches.
- Dips: Dip these delicious chips into salsa like this Grilled Corn Salsa, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, or Greek Yogurt Sauce.

Make This Recipe in Advance
Make ahead: You can make these chips ahead of time and store them for a few hours at room temperature or in the fridge. If they are at room temp, they retain more crunch, but because of the cottage cheese, they need to be refrigerated after a while.
Storing: Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They will need to be reheated in the oven or air fryer to get them crispy again.
Freeze: You can freeze these Cottage Cheese Chips in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw them in the fridge and then reheat them until crispy.
