Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
👉 This prevents sticking and helps with even cooking.
Step 2: Prepare the Mixture
In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
👉 Mix well so the flavors are evenly spread.
Step 3: Shape the Chips
Spoon small portions of the mixture onto the baking tray. Flatten them slightly to form thin chip shapes.
👉 Keep space between each chip.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges turn golden and crispy.
👉 Watch closely towards the end to avoid burning.
Step 5: Cool and Crisp
Let the chips cool completely. They will become crispier as they cool.
👉 This step is important for the perfect crunch.
