Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (small curds, drained well)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder – adds a mild, earthy flavor
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder – enhances the savory taste
- ½ teaspoon dried herbs (optional – try thyme or parsley for extra flavor)
- Salt and pepper – season to taste
- Olive oil spray – helps achieve a golden-brown crispness
These ingredients offer endless variations, too! Swap out garlic powder for smoked paprika or add chili flakes for a spicy twist. For a lactose-free option, opt for lactose-free cottage cheese, and for a vegan approach, experiment with plant-based cottage cheese.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Cottage Cheese
- Drain the cottage cheese thoroughly to avoid soggy chips. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, optional herbs, salt, and pepper until well-combined.
Step 3: Form the Chips
- Using a tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the seasoned cottage cheese onto the baking sheet. Press each scoop down with the back of a spoon to create thin, round chips.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chips are golden-brown and crispy around the edges. Check frequently after the 15-minute mark to prevent burning.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
- Let the chips cool directly on the baking sheet for a few minutes to allow them to crisp further. Serve with your favorite dip or enjoy them on their own!
Pro Tip: For a firmer, crispier texture, flip each chip halfway through baking.
