Bagel Chips

This is a super simple snack recipe that is a great way to use up leftover bagels. Transform your favourite day-old bagels into a fun snack with a simple slice and bake method. This homemade bagel chip recipe uses just three ingredients and is so easy to customize with your favourite seasonings for a personalized touch.

2 bagels (~ 4 cups thinly sliced)
⅛ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. sea salt

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4).

Slice bagels into rounds ⅛" or thinner. Arrange on a sheet pan in an even layer.

Use a pastry brush to lightly brush or dab the top of each bagel slice with olive oil. Don't worry about perfect coverage, just a few dabs of oil per slice is fine.

Sprinkle the bagel chips with salt and any other seasonings you like.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until the chips are toasted and crisp. Thinner chips will crisp up faster - remove any chips from the pan early if they are fully browned to avoid burning while the remaining chips bake.

Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a month.
