Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully mixed.

Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Flatten each with the back of a spoon to form round chips.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until edges are golden and crispy.

Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up further.

Cheese Swaps: Try Parmesan or mozzarella for a new flavor.

Herb Options: Add rosemary, thyme, or basil for an herby twist.

Make it Spicy: Mix in cayenne or chili flakes for heat.

Dairy-Free: Use plant-based cheese alternatives for a vegan version.

Texture Tip: Blending the cottage cheese creates a smoother chip; whole curds yield a more rustic crunch.
