Easy Homemade Cottage Cheese Chips

Easy homemade cottage cheese chips are my new obsession when I want a crunchy salty snack that still feels a little bit wholesome. One weekend afternoon while craving something crispy but trying to avoid regular chips I spotted a container of cottage cheese in my fridge and some wonton wrappers in my pantry so I decided to experiment by baking them together and to my surprise they turned into these light crunchy chips that were so addictive I almost ate the whole batch in one sitting!

Now whenever I’m hosting friends or just need a quick snack fix these easy homemade cottage cheese chips save the day because they’re so fun to make and incredibly satisfying and everyone always asks for the recipe the moment they try them.

Ingredients

• Here’s what I use for this recipe. You can always play around with seasonings and toppings!
• Wonton wrappers – The crispy base that turns perfectly golden and light.
• Cottage cheese – Adds a creamy tangy surprise inside each chip.
• Olive oil – Helps achieve that crispy texture and golden color.
• Sea salt – Brings out all the flavors and adds that classic chip taste.
• Fresh parsley – For a fresh herby touch on top.
• Garlic powder – Adds a subtle savory kick.

Tools You’ll Need

• Baking sheet – Essential for spreading out the chips evenly to bake.
• Parchment paper – Prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
• Pastry brush – Perfect for brushing olive oil on each wrapper.
• Spoon – Helps scoop small amounts of cottage cheese onto the wrappers.
• Knife – For cutting wrappers if you want smaller chip shapes.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

I start by preheating my oven to 375°F so it’s hot and ready for crisping up the chips.

Step 2: Prepare the wrappers

I lay the wonton wrappers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush each one lightly with olive oil on both sides.

Step 3: Add cottage cheese

I place a small dollop of cottage cheese in the center of each wrapper and spread it slightly, being careful not to overfill.

Step 4: Season

I sprinkle sea salt, garlic powder, and a bit of chopped parsley on top of each wrapper for extra flavor.

Step 5: Bake

I bake the wrappers for about 10–12 minutes or until they’re golden brown and crispy, keeping a close eye so they don’t burn.

Step 6: Cool

I let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to finish crisping up.

Step 7: Serve

I enjoy them fresh from the oven as a snack or serve them with dips like guacamole or salsa for extra fun.

Tips

You can add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before baking for a cheesier flavor. Try using different spices like smoked paprika or chili powder for a spicy twist. If you prefer extra crispiness, bake a little longer but watch them closely!

Ways to Serve

I love serving these easy homemade cottage cheese chips as a party appetizer with a trio of dips. They’re also great crumbled on top of salads for added crunch or just enjoyed on their own during movie night.
