These parmesan cottage cheese chips are the high-protein, low-carb snack you didn’t know you needed. They’re crunchy, salty, and packed with flavor – and they come together with just two simple ingredients. If you’re craving something crisp without all the guilt of traditional chips, this is the snack for you.

Great for dipping, topping soups or salads, or just munching straight off the tray. They’re easy to make, super affordable, and way more satisfying than store-bought options.

Before you get started

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to keep the chips from sticking—foil or bare pans won’t work the same here. A 1-inch scoop helps make evenly-sized chips, but a spoon works in a pinch. Make sure to flatten them slightly so they bake up crispy instead of puffy.

And patience is key: let them cool completely before touching. They firm up as they sit.

What You Need To Make Parmesan Cottage Cheese Chips

You’ll find the exact amounts in the recipe card, but here’s what you’ll need:

Grated parmesan cheese
Cottage cheese
Parchment paper
A baking sheet
Optional: a small scooper or spoon for shaping

How To Make Parmesan Cottage Cheese Chips

1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, mix together the grated parmesan and cottage cheese until well combined.

2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1-inch scooper or spoon, drop small mounds of the cheese mixture onto the parchment. Flatten each one slightly with the back of the scoop or a spoon.

3

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the tray—this is important so they can set and get crunchy.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use shredded parmesan instead of grated?

Grated works best because it blends better with the cottage cheese and crisps up more evenly, but finely shredded will work in a pinch.

Do they stay crispy after storing?

They’re best the same day, but you can store them in an airtight container for a day or two. If they soften, pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to crisp up.

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?

Yes, but full-fat cottage cheese will give better texture and flavor. The lower-fat version may release more moisture.
