• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Preheat:

   • Air fryer: Preheat to 375°F

   • Oven: Preheat to 425°F

3. Scoop: Line a tray or air fryer basket with parchment paper.
   Scoop small mounds of the mixture onto the parchment, spaced apart.

   Air Fryer:
   Air fry for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and crispy.

   Oven:

Tips:

• The cottage cheese will melt and crisp—don’t worry if they spread a little!

• Use dry curd cottage cheese or strain regular cottage cheese for best results.

• Best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness.

• Sprinkle extra parmesan on top before baking for a golden crust.
