- 2 Everything Bagels - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds - 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds - Sea salt, to taste To make baked everything bagel chips, you need fresh ingredients. Start with two everything bagels. They have a mix of seeds and spices that give the chips their unique flavor. Next, grab some olive oil. You will use two tablespoons to help the spices stick to the bagels. The oil also helps the chips crisp up nicely in the oven. Now for the seasoning ingredients. You'll need one teaspoon each of garlic powder and onion powder. These add a savory kick to every bite. Don't forget to add some seeds! Use half a teaspoon of sesame seeds and half a teaspoon of poppy seeds. They give texture and extra flavor. Lastly, sea salt is key. Use it to taste. It enhances all the flavors in your bagel chips. Gather these ingredients, and you’ll be ready to create a tasty snack! {{ingredient_image_2}} 1. Preheating the Oven First, set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is key for getting crispy chips. Make sure it is hot enough before you bake. 2. Slicing the Bagels Next, grab your Everything Bagels. Slice each bagel into thin rounds. Aim for 1/4 inch thick slices. Thinner slices will give you a better crunch. 3. Mixing the Oil and Seasonings In a medium bowl, pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. Then, mix in 1/2 teaspoon of sesame seeds and 1/2 teaspoon of poppy seeds. Sprinkle a bit of sea salt. Stir it all well to blend the flavors. 4. Coating the Bagel Slices Take your sliced bagels and toss them in the oil mixture. Make sure every slice is covered. This step adds lots of great flavor to your chips. 5. Baking the Bagel Chips Place the coated slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lay them out in a single layer. Try not to overlap them. Bake in your preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Flip the chips halfway through. This helps them bake evenly. 6. Cooling the Chips Once they are golden brown and crispy, take the tray out of the oven. Let the bagel chips cool for a few minutes. They will get even crunchier as they cool. Enjoy your tasty homemade bagel chips! Achieving the Right Thickness When cutting your bagels, aim for slices about 1/4 inch thick. This thickness helps them bake evenly. If they are too thick, they may stay soft inside. If too thin, they might burn easily. Consistency is key for the best results. Even Coating Techniques Mix your olive oil and seasonings well before tossing. Use a bowl big enough to let you toss the bagel rounds. This helps every slice get a nice coating. You want each chip to be packed with flavor, so don't skip this step. Baking Time Adjustments Keep an eye on your chips while they bake. Ovens can vary in heat, so check them at 15 minutes. If they are not golden brown, let them bake a bit longer. Flip them halfway through for even crispiness. This way, you ensure every chip is crunchy and delicious. Pro Tips Slice Evenly: Ensure that your bagel slices are uniform in thickness to promote even baking and crispness throughout each chip. Coat Generously: Don't be shy with the olive oil mixture; coating each bagel slice thoroughly will enhance the flavor and texture of your chips. Monitor Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the bagel chips towards the end of the baking time to prevent burning, as ovens can vary in temperature. Cool for Crispiness: Allow the bagel chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes after baking; they will continue to crisp up as they cool down. {{image_4}} You can easily change the taste of your bagel chips. Here are some fun ideas: - Spicy Everything Bagel Chips: Add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to your oil mix. This gives your chips a nice kick. Use just a pinch to start. You can always add more if you like it hot. - Cheesy Bagel Chips: Mix in grated cheese with your oil and spices. Parmesan or cheddar works best. This makes the chips rich and tasty. Just keep in mind that cheese may cause some chips to brown faster. - Herbed Bagel Chips: Try adding dried herbs. Oregano, thyme, or basil can bring new flavors. Mix these herbs in with the oil for a fresh taste. You’ll get a snack that feels like a garden. - Nut-Free Alternatives: If you want a nut-free snack, just skip any nut-based flavors. Use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for crunch instead. They add texture without nuts. Feel free to experiment. Each version can be a new delight for your taste buds! Best Storage Practices To keep your bagel chips fresh, store them in an airtight container. I recommend using a glass jar or a resealable plastic bag. Make sure to seal it tightly to block out air. For extra crunch, place a piece of parchment paper inside the container. This helps absorb moisture. Shelf Life These bagel chips stay fresh for up to one week when stored properly. If you keep them in a cool, dry place, they will last longer. You can also freeze them to extend their shelf life. Just make sure to use a freezer-safe bag or container. Re-crisping Method If your bagel chips lose their crunch, don’t worry! You can re-crisp them easily. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the chips out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake them for about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. They will be crispy again in no time! Yes, you can use other bagels. Try plain, sesame, or poppy bagels. Each will give a different taste. Just keep the slice thickness the same for even baking. To make bagel chips without oil, use a spray. A light mist of water can help. Then, sprinkle your seasonings directly on the bagel slices. Bake as usual, but watch closely to avoid burning. Bagel chips taste great with many dips. Try creamy cream cheese, tangy hummus, or zesty salsa. You can also pair them with guacamole or spinach dip for a fun twist. Yes, you can make these chips in an air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the coated bagel rounds in a single layer. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Enjoy your crispy snack! You can make delicious bagel chips at home with simple ingredients. We covered how to prepare, season, and bake everything bagels to perfection. Remember to cut evenly and watch your baking time for the best results. Don’t forget the fun flavor variations you can try, like cheesy or spicy. Store them right to keep them fresh. Making your own bagel chips is easy and tasty. Enjoy your crunchy snack with your favorite dips!
