One serving
One serving is 6 chips (makes 18). Prep 15 min · Cook 28 min · Rest or chill 5 min.
Steps
Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C), line a dark sheet pan with parchment and let the oven preheat for 15 minutes.
Spread the cottage cheese on a double layer of paper towels and press gently to remove as much liquid as possible.
Drop 18 heaping teaspoons onto the pan, 2 inches (5 cm) apart, and flatten each into a thin round.
Mix the sesame seeds, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and sprinkle over the rounds.
Bake until deep golden brown and crisp at the edges, about 28 minutes.
