Bagel Chips from Leftover Bagels

Homemade bagel chips: turn your leftover bagels into a savory and crunchy appetizer or snack. 

These bagel chips are so easy that you really don't even need a recipe. There are just three ingredients, bagel, olive oil, and seasoning, and they take just a few minutes to make. 

The chips are totally habit-forming. In fact, you should probably make more than you think you'll need because your guests will be totally obsessed with these. 

I've actually made some from a single bagel and finished them off in a day or two, for "quality control." 

Making Homemade Bagel Chips:

First, you will need bagels! Any savory bagel will do. I used "Everything" bagels, which are topped with a mix of sesame seeds (black and white), dehydrated onion and garlic, poppy seeds, and kosher salt. 

You could also use jalapeño and cheddar bagels, asiago cheese bagels, rye bagels, or onion bagels. If you have a blueberry bagel sitting around, you could also make a sweet version of these chips. 

You will also need oil, preferably extra virgin olive oil, especially for the savory versions. 

Finally, although not necessary, you might want to sprinkle on some type of seasoning before baking the chips. I lightly sprinkled these with more "everything bagel" seasoning. 

Other possible seasonings include sea salt, granulated garlic or onion, dried herbs, spices, Parmesan cheese, seeds, or any combination of these ingredients. 

Process:

First, begin with a bagel that is a day old or "almost" stale. Of course, you can use a stale bagel, but you might have to adjust the baking time and add a bit more oil. A day old bagel is perfect. 

Slice the bagel into approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch rounds. Because of the shape of the bagel, some of the slices might be thinner on one side. That's okay. 

If you want, you can also slice the bagels in half lengthwise, and then cut them into slices, widthwise, for half circles (and bigger chips). You could also slice them widthwise into round circles if you like.

Once you've sliced the bagels, toss the pieces in some olive oil and then sprinkle them with your seasoning of choice. Bake them at 350 degrees F for about 15 to 20 minutes, tossing them every five minutes, until they are crispy and lightly browned. 

These bagel chips will keep for up to two weeks in an airtight container, although I can't imagine them lasting that long. I could not stop eating them.
