Easy and delicious Homemade Bagel Chips, seasoned to perfection and baked until crispy. Ideal for snacking or as a tasty companion to your favorite dips for Super Bowl parties, movie night, and as a crunchy, afternoon pick-me-up snack.
2large unsliced bagels(any flavor, even plain; day-old preferred)
extra virgin olive oil
2tablespoonsranch seasoning mix
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Slice both bagels into thin rounds going around the bagel. You can either make cuts into the whole bagel and work your way around the circle (see photos in the blog post) or slice the bagel into two halves (top through bottom, not through the center like sandwich slices), which makes it a little easier to cut the rounds.
Add the bagel rounds to a mixing bowl. Drizzle the slices lightly with olive oil, then toss and drizzle again to ensure that everything gets a coating.
Sprinkle half of the ranch seasoning over the slices, then toss and sprinkle again with the remaining tablespoon.
Transfer the bagel rounds to the baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden and crispy (but not browned and crusty), flipping all of the rounds once, halfway through. (This is a pain, for sure, but doing so ensures a more even bake.)
Let cool on the sheet, and serve.
Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
You can do a double batch all at once, using two baking sheets. Divide your oven into thirds with the oven racks, and place one baking sheet on each rack. Halfway through, flip all of the bagel rounds, then put each baking sheet on the other rack, switching places, to even out the bake as best as possible.
