Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your chips will bake evenly and get that perfect crunch.
Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help prevent the chips from sticking and make cleanup a cinch.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended. The mixture should be thick and somewhat sticky.
Step 4: Using a spatula, spread the cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick. To achieve crispiness, try to make it as uniform as possible.
Step 5: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is firm. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
Step 6: Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Then, use a knife or pizza cutter to slice them into your desired chip shape.
Step 7: Serve your Cottage Cheese Chips warm or let them cool completely before storing them for later. They pair wonderfully with dips or can be enjoyed on their own.
