How to Serve Keto Cottage Cheese Chips

Keto Cottage Cheese Chips make a great standalone snack, but they can also be paired with your favorite dips, such as guacamole, salsa, or ranch dressing. Serve them at parties for a healthy snack option, or enjoy them as a topping on salads or soups for added crunch.

How to Store Keto Cottage Cheese Chips

Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them crispy for longer, try placing them in the fridge but be aware they may lose some crunchiness.

Tips to Make Keto Cottage Cheese Chips

Make sure to spread the cottage cheese mixture thin; this will help them get crispy.
Experiment with different spices and herbs for unique flavors.
For extra crunch, try broiling the chips for the last couple of minutes of baking.

Variation

You can add grated cheese to the cottage cheese mixture for extra flavor and richness. You can also try different types of cheese or even mix in some finely chopped vegetables for a different texture.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese for this recipe?
Yes, you can use low-fat cottage cheese, but the chips may not be as crispy. Full-fat cottage cheese usually gives the best results.

Can I make these chips in an air fryer?
Absolutely! Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C), then follow the same steps, placing the rounds in a single layer in the fryer basket. Cook for about 10 minutes or until crispy.

Can I freeze the chips?
It’s not recommended to freeze these chips, as freezing can make them lose their crispiness. However, you can prepare the mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a short period before baking.
