Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or your air fryer to 370°F. Gather your ingredients and tools.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
Using a cookie scoop, shape the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray, spaced about an inch apart.
Bake for 18–20 minutes (or air fry for 12–15 minutes) until golden brown and crispy.
Let cool for 2–3 minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
