Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat recommended
  • ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or blend
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • paprika or chili powder optional

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • medium bowl
  • Spoon or Spatula
  • Tablespoon measure

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add optional paprika or chili powder if using.
  3. Step 3: Drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  4. Step 4: Use the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten each dollop into a thin, round shape.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are dry and firm.
  6. Step 6: Let cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before carefully peeling them off the parchment paper. They will crisp up as they cool.

Notes

For best crispiness, use parchment paper, flatten the chips thinly, don't overcrowd the baking sheet, bake until golden, and cool completely. Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If they soften, re-crisp in a low oven. Full-fat cottage cheese is recommended for best results. Can be made in an air fryer (approx. 8-12 minutes at 380-400°F/190-200°C).
