A crunchy, savory baked snack from cottage cheese, high in protein and ideal for dipping or snacking.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 2 cups cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat, small curd preferred
→ Seasonings
02 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
05 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Optional Toppings
07 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
08 - 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Place the cottage cheese into a fine-mesh sieve and press gently to remove excess liquid. Pat dry with paper towels to increase crispiness.
03 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
04 - Spoon tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound gently with the back of a spoon to form thin circles about 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter.
05 - If desired, sprinkle the tops with chopped chives or grated Parmesan cheese.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the chips are crispy.
07 - Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet to further crisp. Carefully remove from parchment and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
