Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the well-drained full-fat cottage cheese with the cornstarch until you achieve a smooth, slightly thick mixture that can hold shape.
- Shape the Tots: Using your hands or a spoon, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls approximately 1 inch in diameter to form the tots.
- Bake: Arrange the cottage cheese tots evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy exterior.
- Cool and Serve: Let the tots cool slightly on a wire rack or plate before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce for a delicious snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Ensure the cottage cheese is well drained to avoid excess moisture which can prevent the tots from crisping up properly.
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the tots with cooking oil before baking.
- Feel free to add seasoning like salt, pepper, or herbs to the mixture before shaping.
- These tots can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
