Crispy Cottage Cheese Chips 
Ingredients:
– 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat for best texture) 
– 1 tablespoon olive oil 
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
– 1 teaspoon onion powder 
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika 
– Salt and pepper, to taste 
– 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
– Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish) 
Instructions:

.

.
.4. Stir in nutritional yeast if you want a cheesy, savory kick .
.5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup 
.
.6. Spoon the seasoned cottage cheese mixture onto the baking sheet, forming thin, even circles (about 2-3 inches in diameter) and spacing them apart 
.
.7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning 
.
.8. Remove from the oven and let the chips cool for a few minutes to firm up 
.
.9. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for extra flavor and color .
.Enjoy these crispy cottage cheese chips as a snack or with your favorite dip! 
If you try this, be sure the cottage cheese is as dry as possible. I did not, and it was a gloppy mess. Certainly was not even close to crispy. Very disappointing.
