Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup (25g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Strain the 225g of cottage cheese in a fine mesh sieve for 10 minutes. Note: This prevents the chips from becoming a soggy, steaming mess in the heat.
  2. Press the curds gently with the back of a spoon to force out the last of the liquid.
  3. Combine the strained cottage cheese, 25g Parmesan, paprika, pepper, and seasoning in a bowl.
  4. Line your tray or air fryer with parchment paper until it covers the entire surface.
  5. Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the paper, leaving 8cm of space between dollops.
  6. Place a small parchment square over a dollop and press flat with a glass until it is a thin, translucent circle.
  7. Repeat for all dollops, ensuring they do not touch or overlap.
  8. Bake or air fry at 175°C for 20 minutes until the edges are dark brown and brittle.
  9. Remove from heat and let them sit on the tray for 5 minutes until they completely harden and snap easily.
