Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese (drained for 10 minutes)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drain cottage cheese in a fine-mesh strainer for 10 minutes to remove excess liquid.
- Mix base ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine drained cottage cheese, egg, and grated Parmesan. Whisk for 30 seconds until relatively smooth.
- Season: Add garlic powder and sea salt. Fold together gently but thoroughly.
- Shape chips: Drop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with back of spoon.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers feel firm.
- Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes to crisp up before serving.
Notes
For extra crispiness, bake an additional 2-3 minutes. Store in airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in 300°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispiness. Try flavor variations: add smoked paprika for spicy chips, Italian seasoning for herb version, or everything bagel seasoning before baking.
