Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese (small curd works best)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- If cottage cheese is very wet, gently blot with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Spoon small mounds of cottage cheese onto the baking sheet, flattening slightly into thin rounds.
- Sprinkle with optional seasonings if desired.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let chips cool completely to crisp up further.
- Serve as-is or with your favorite dips.
Notes
- Blotting moisture helps chips crisp up more.
- For extra crispiness, pat the tops dry before baking and bake a little longer if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
