Cottage Cheese Chips

2 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Mixture:
– In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
– Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Form the Chips:
– Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
– Gently flatten each mound into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Bake the Chips:
– Lightly spray the tops of the chips with cooking spray or brush with olive oil for extra crispiness.
– Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are firm.
Cool and Serve:
– Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Personal Notes:  – Enjoy them as a snack on their own or with your favorite dip!
