FAQs

Can I use low-fat or non-dairy cottage cheese for this recipe?

Whole milk cottage cheese works best for crispiness due to its higher fat content, but you can try low-fat versions. Non-dairy alternatives may not crisp up well because of their different textures.

How do I prevent the chips from sticking to the baking sheet?

Using parchment paper or a silicone baking mat is key to preventing sticking and helps the chips bake evenly without burning on the bottom.
