- 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
- 1/2 cup (60g) shredded cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet, depending on preference)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley, finely chopped; optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
- Parchment paper (for easy cleanup)
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. This is important for the chips to become evenly crispy.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until well combined. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet, spreading it out to form thin, round mounds. The thinner the chips, the crispier they will be.
- Bake the chips in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn them.
- Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. They will become crispier as they cool.
- Carefully lift the chips off the baking sheet with a spatula and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
