Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (small curd or large curd)
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drain the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or paper towels for at least 30-60 minutes.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, egg white, nutritional yeast, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until well combined.
- Drop small dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about an inch of space between each. Spread each dollop into a thin, even circle or oval shape.

- Remove from the oven and let the chips cool completely on the baking sheets or transfer them to a wire rack.
