2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Lasagna Crisps: The Ultimate High-Protein Snack with Crispy-Noodle Excellence

An incredibly simple, two-ingredient snack that transforms humble cottage cheese and dry lasagna noodles into crunchy, savory “chips.” When baked, the cottage cheese creates a lacy, golden crust around the pasta pieces, resulting in a satisfyingly salty crunch. Perfect for dipping into marinara or enjoying as a high-protein midday snack.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12–15 crisps 1x

Ingredients

  • Base: 1 cup cottage cheese (Small curd or large curd both work)

  • Crunch: 4 dry lasagna noodles (broken into bite-sized pieces)

  • Optional: Salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning (for extra flavor)

Instructions

  • Preheat: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (this is essential to prevent sticking).

  • Break: Break the dry lasagna noodles into small, bite-sized fragments.

  • Combine: In a medium bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the noodle pieces until the pasta is thoroughly and evenly coated.

  • Portion: Scoop small mounds of the mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.

  • Flatten: Use the back of a spoon to gently press each mound down. The flatter they are, the crispier they will become.

  • Bake: Place in the oven for 25–35 minutes. You are looking for deep golden-brown edges and a firm, crisp top.

  • Cool: Allow the crisps to sit on the tray for at least 5 minutes. They will firm up significantly as they cool.

  • Serve: Enjoy them plain or serve with a side of warm marinara sauce for a “pizza-style” dip.

Notes

  • Flavor Boost: While the 2-ingredient version is great, adding a dash of garlic powder or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan before baking takes these to the next level.

  • Noodle Tip: You can use whole wheat or gluten-free lasagna noodles as well; just ensure the pieces are small enough to be fully encased in the cheese.

  • Storage: These are best eaten fresh for maximum crunch, but you can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Re-crisp in an air fryer or oven if they soften.
