Ingredients
2 cups small curd cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley or chives
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Scoop 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese onto the tray, forming small mounds spaced 1 inch apart.
3. Gently flatten the mounds with the back of a spoon.
4. Sprinkle with garlic powder, parmesan, salt, and dried herbs.
5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.
6. Let cool for 5–10 minutes to crisp up further.
7. Transfer to a wire rack if desired for extra crunch.
8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Notes
Be sure to use small curd cottage cheese—large curds retain too much moisture and won’t crisp.
Let chips cool fully to reach maximum crunch before storing.
