Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) cottage cheese
  • 1 tsp (5g) salt
  • 1 tbsp (8g) everything bagel seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or an air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve or wrap in a paper towel to press out excess liquid, then stir in salt and seasonings until evenly distributed.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop heaping teaspoons of the seasoned cheese onto the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon to press them into rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Bake in the center rack of the oven for 25–30 minutes, or air fry for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are deep mahogany brown and the centers are firm to the touch.
  4. Remove from the oven and let the chips sit on the pan for at least 10 minutes to allow them to fully firm up and become crispy.
