Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cottage cheese, full-fat or low-fat, small curd preferred Drained well
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional) Adds a warm, smoky note
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives For added flavor
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese Optional topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Place cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve and press gently to remove excess liquid. Pat dry with paper towels to enhance crispiness.
  3. In a mixing bowl, blend drained cottage cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until uniform.
  4. Spoon tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound with the back of a spoon into circles approximately 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter.
  5. Sprinkle chopped chives or grated Parmesan cheese over each chip if desired.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until edges are golden brown and chips are crispy.
  2. Allow chips to cool completely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness.
  3. Carefully remove chips from the parchment and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Notes

Serve these chips cold or at room temperature with dips. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Freezing is not recommended; reheat in a low oven if needed.
