Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese room temperature works best
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for heat

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheets (2 recommended)
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mats
  • Spoon or small ice cream scoop
  • Oven set to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

Method
 

  1. Add your cottage cheese and eggs to a large mixing bowl. Whisk them together thoroughly until the mixture is relatively smooth with just a few small curds remaining, about 1 to 2 minutes of whisking.
  2. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed throughout the cottage cheese mixture.
  3. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne (if using). Mix everything together until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  4. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  5. Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop bite-sized portions (about 1 tablespoon each) onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  6. Using the back of your spoon or a small spatula, gently flatten each portion into a thin chip shape, roughly 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Place both baking sheets in a preheated 375-degree Fahrenheit oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, checking at the 15-minute mark.
  8. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the chips cool on the pan for at least 5 minutes.

Notes

Serve plain with your favorite hot sauce or pair with dips for variety. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
