Ingredients for Keto Cottage Cheese Chips including cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, almond flour, and spices

You’ll find the best ingredients for this Keto Cottage Cheese Chips at your local farmer’s market or specialty grocery store for freshest cheese and quality spices. Splurge on a sharp cheddar here – trust me, it makes a flavor difference you’ll notice.

If you’re budget conscious, skip almond flour for a sprinkle of coconut flour or omit it entirely, but know it impacts texture slightly. Feel free to swap smoked paprika with cayenne for a bolder kick that fires up this cottage cheese keto recipe.

Wrap any leftover cottage cheese tightly and store in the fridge — freshness means better chips every time.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). This heat setting is perfect because it crisps without burning your Keto Cottage Cheese Chips.
  2. Drain the cottage cheese well. Lay it out on a paper towel. Removing excess moisture is your secret weapon to crispy keto cheese crisps.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, almond flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Stir it up with confidence. Your Keto Cottage Cheese Chips flavor is building right here!
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a tablespoon to dollop the mixture onto the sheet, then slightly flatten each dollop into a chip shape. Keep enough space between each to let them crisp evenly.
  5. Bake for exactly 15 minutes, then check crispness. Pro tip for Keto Cottage Cheese Chips perfection: If edges aren’t golden and crunchy, bake in 2-minute increments until perfectly crisp.
  6. Remove from oven and let your Keto Cottage Cheese Chips cool completely on the pan. Cooling crisps up the chips even more. Don’t skip this!
  7. Transfer chips to a plate, serve, or store in an airtight container. If you want crisp leftovers tomorrow, re-crisp on a pan for 2-3 minutes at 375°F.

This is where your Keto Cottage Cheese Chips transform into pure magic. The smell of baked cheese chips wafting in your kitchen is guaranteed to have everyone curious and reaching for seconds.
