How to make cottage cheese chips

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, then spoon small portions of cottage cheese onto the tray. Leave some space between each one, as they'll spread slightly while baking.
3. For the paprika and oregano version, season the cottage cheese directly on the tray. For the sesame version, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.
4. Bake until the edges are golden and the chips are firm enough to flip.
5. Carefully turn them over, then return them to the oven for a few more minutes until crisp.
6. Let them cool before eating. They'll firm up even more as they cool.

Is cottage cheese low FODMAP?

It can be.

Cottage cheese contains lactose, but that doesn't automatically make it off limits on a low FODMAP diet. FODMAP content depends on both the product and the portion size, so some regular cottage cheeses may still work in smaller servings.
