# What You Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 2 cups cottage cheese, full fat or low fat
→ Seasonings
02 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
→ Optional Add-Ins
07 - 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
08 - 1 teaspoon dried herbs such as oregano, thyme, or rosemary
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
02 - Place cottage cheese in a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth and press gently to remove excess moisture.
03 - Transfer drained cottage cheese to a food processor. Add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, sea salt, Parmesan, and dried herbs if using. Blend until mostly smooth with slight texture remaining.
04 - Scoop heaping teaspoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 1 inch apart. Flatten each dollop into a thin round chip approximately 2 inches wide.
05 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until chips are golden brown and crisp around the edges.
06 - Cool completely on the baking sheet. Chips will continue to crisp as they cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
