Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (oregano or Italian seasoning)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Shape the Chips: Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly for even cooking.
- Bake Until Crispy: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch closely towards the end to prevent burning.
- Cool & Serve: Let the chips cool on a wire rack to maintain crispiness. Enjoy immediately or store for later.
Notes
- For Extra Crispiness: Drain excess moisture from the cottage cheese before mixing.
- Flavor Variations: Add cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, or swap Parmesan for cheddar or mozzarella.
- Air Fryer Method: Cook at 370°F (185°C) for 8-10 minutes, checking frequently.
