Ingredients
  

4 everything bagels (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for extra depth)

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your chips will bake evenly.

    Slice the Bagels: With a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice each everything bagel into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Strive for uniform thickness to allow for even cooking and crispiness.

      Prepare the Seasoning Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

        Coat the Bagel Slices: Transfer the bagel slices into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the prepared seasoning mix over the slices, then gently toss with your hands or a spatula until all pieces are evenly coated in the delicious oil and spices.

          Arrange on Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Lay the seasoned bagel slices out in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch or overlap. This helps them crisp up nicely.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping the bagel chips halfway through the cooking time. Watch closely as they bake to achieve the perfect golden brown color, adjusting the time if necessary to avoid burning.

              Cool and Store: Once baked, carefully remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the bagel chips to cool completely on the sheets. This cooling process enhances their crunch. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container, where they can be stored for up to a week (if they last that long!).

                Serve and Enjoy: Present your crunchy everything bagel chips as a delightful snack, appetizer, or perfect companion for dips such as hummus, guacamole, or cheese spreads. Relish the satisfying crunch and rich flavors!
