Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (2% or full-fat for best results)
- Optional: pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, or chili flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven or air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Spoon small dollops (about 1 tablespoon each) of cottage cheese onto the tray, spacing them apart.
- Flatten gently with the back of a spoon to form thin rounds.
- Season lightly, if desired.
- Bake or air fry for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crisp around the edges.
- Cool for 5 minutes before serving — they’ll firm up as they cool.
Notes
Flavor Variations: Cheesy – Sprinkle Parmesan or cheddar before baking. Spicy – Add chili flakes or cayenne pepper. Herby – Mix in dried basil, oregano, or dill. Sweet – Blend in cinnamon and stevia. Storage: Keep in an airtight container up to 2 days; re-crisp in air fryer for 2–3 minutes if needed.
