- 500 g 2 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese – Low-moisture for best results
- 60 g ½ cup Freshly Grated Parmesan – For crispy texture
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder – Or swap with smoked paprika onion powder, or tajín
- Pinch of Salt – Adjust based on cheese’s saltiness
Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Drain the Cottage Cheese: Press out excess moisture using a fine-mesh strainer for 5 minutes (critical for crunch!).
Blend & Mix: Pulse cottage cheese, parmesan, garlic powder, and salt in a food processor until smooth.
Shape Crisps: Spoon or pipe 1-inch circles onto the baking sheet, flattening to 2mm thickness.
Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Let cool for 10 minutes to firm up.
- For extra crunch, leave crisps in the turned-off oven for 5 minutes post-bake.
- Air fryer method: Cook at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container at room temp for 3 days or freeze for 3 months.
