Looking for a guilt-free snack that’s savory, crispy, and has perfect crunch? This snack is gluten-free, high-protein, low-carb, and low-calorie.
Let me tell you that there is a before and after trying these cottage cheese chips.
A couple of weeks ago, I was craving something crispy and salty. However, my body didn’t want zucchini chips, and going to the traditional crisps is just not it for me anymore.
All I had was cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and bagel seasoning. And these crisps were born.
One of the great things about this recipe is its simplicity.
Not only does it require only three ingredients to make, but it also takes a couple of minutes to prepare, and you let the oven do the rest.

Ingredients and Substitutes
Cottage cheese (1 cup) – Choose full-fat or low-fat, depending on your dietary preferences. I prefer the texture of the full-fat cottage cheese.
Cheddar cheese, shredded (¼ cup) – You can use other shredded cheeses like mozzarella or Parmesan.
Everything Bagel seasoning (2 tbsp) – Other herbs will do, like rosemary, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or chili flakes.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Chips
Step 1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 375F. Place 1.5 tbsp of cottage cheese on the baking sheet.
Step 2. Flatten the cottage cheese using a spoon.
Step 3. Sprinkle 1 tsp of shredded cheddar cheese on each portion of the cottage cheese. Sprinkle with Everything Bagel.
Step 4. Place in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are dark brown and crispy. Once they are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool down before having them.

Pin ItHow I Modify These Chips
- Vegan Version: Swap the cottage cheese and cheddar with plant-based ricotta and vegan shredded cheese.
- Add Some Spice: Sprinkle some cayenne pepper, crushed chili flakes, or a dash of hot sauce.
- Change The Spices: To boost the flavor, mix finely chopped fresh herbs like dill, basil, or parsley.
Dips I Like for These Chips
Here are some of my favorite pairings to have with these chips.
- Guacamole
- Spicy salsa
- Hummus
- Blue cheese dip
- Greek yogurt dip
- Pico de gallo
My Storage Tips
Once the chips have cooled down, place them in an airtight container. This will help keep the moisture out and keep them nice and crunchy.
Keep them at room temperature since this can make them soft. You can keep them in a cool, dry place for up to 3-4 days.
If your chips have lost their crunch, there is no need to worry. Place them on a baking tray and bake them at 350F for 5 minutes. They’ll be as good as new!
