02 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
03 -
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
04 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 190°C or preheat the air fryer to 175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking if using the oven.
02 -
Choose between rustic small-curd cottage cheese or blend it until smooth for a cracker-like texture. Incorporate seasonings and optional add-ins thoroughly into the cottage cheese if blending.
03 -
Use a tablespoon to scoop dollops of cottage cheese onto the prepared surface, flattening each slightly. Leave adequate space between each chip for spreading during cooking.
04 -
Sprinkle additional seasonings atop each dollop if desired for more pronounced flavor.
05 -
For oven: bake for 22 to 30 minutes until edges are golden and centers are firm. For air fryer: cook for 10 to 14 minutes, checking for doneness at 10 minutes due to equipment variability.
06 -
Allow chips to cool completely on the tray for at least 10 minutes to achieve maximum crispness.
07 -
Evaluate the chips for seasoning and texture. Modify seasoning or baking time in subsequent batches if necessary to reach preferred crispiness and flavor balance.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
Store cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2–3 days; re-crisp in oven or air fryer if softened.
