  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Adds flavor without moisture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Essential for seasoning.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper For a bit of heat.

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and set a rack in the middle.
  2. In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix briefly.
  3. Add flour and olive oil, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, transfer the dough, and flatten it into a thin layer (about 1/8 inch thick).
Baking

  2. Remove from the oven and cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking into chips.

Notes

For best results, ensure the cottage cheese is well-drained before using. Store cooled chips in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture.
