Ingredients

• Classic Salt & Pepper: A simple pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Spicy Kick: Mix in ⅓ teaspoon of smoked paprika, a dash of chili powder, and a pinch of cayenne.
• Ranch Flavor: Stir in a bit of ranch seasoning for crispy, ranch-flavored chips.
• Onion Infusion: Before baking, add ⅓ teaspoon of onion powder and a touch of kosher salt.
• Garlic Lovers: Season with ⅓ teaspoon of garlic powder and a bit of lemon zest for a zesty, garlicky crunch.
• Italian Herb Blend: Mix in Italian seasoning or a combination of dried dill, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Instructions

• Oven Method : 

1. Preheat & Prep: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray it with oil or olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Drain & Season: Remove any excess liquid from the cottage cheese. If you’d like, mix in your favorite seasonings for extra flavor.
3. Shape the Chips: Using a spoon, scoop small portions of cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them into thin rounds, about 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) thick, ensuring they are spaced apart.
4. Bake to Perfection: Place the tray on the middle rack and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy. Be careful not to overbake, as this can make them too tough.
5. Cool & Crisp Up: Let the chips cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, they will continue to crisp up as they cool.

• Microwave Method : 

1. Prep & Shape: Line a microwave-safe plate with parchment paper. Scoop small portions of cottage cheese onto the plate, flattening them into 0.2-inch (0.5 cm) thin rounds. Space them apart to allow for spreading.
2. Cook & Cool: Microwave on high for 2 minutes, then let the chips sit for 10-15 minutes to fully crisp up before enjoying.
