- 2 large sourdough bagels (preferably day-old) - 3 tablespoons olive oil - 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - ½ teaspoon onion powder - ¼ teaspoon sea salt You can swap olive oil with other oils like avocado or coconut oil. This change can add unique flavors and health benefits. If you want different tastes, try using a different bagel type. For example, an onion or garlic bagel can enhance the flavor profile. Each serving of these chips has about 150 calories. The breakdown is roughly 7 grams of fat, 20 grams of carbs, and 4 grams of protein. Sourdough has health benefits, too. It is easier to digest and may help with gut health. The fermentation process adds probiotics, making it a smart choice for your snacks. 1. Preheating the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is key to getting your chips crispy. An oven that is too cool will not cook them well. 2. Slicing bagels correctly: Take your day-old sourdough bagels and slice them into thin rounds. Aim for about ¼ inch thick. Thinner slices will turn out crunchier, while thicker ones may stay softer. 1. How to coat bagel slices evenly: In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced bagels and pour in the olive oil. Use your hands or a spatula to mix. Make sure every slice has a nice coat of oil. This helps the seasonings stick and gives a great flavor. 2. The importance of seasoning balance: After coating, sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt over the bagels. Toss gently to mix. This balance of flavors brings out the best in your chips. 1. Tips for checking doneness: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the bagel slices in a single layer. Make sure they do not overlap. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Check halfway through and flip the chips to ensure even cooking. 2. Cooling and texture tips: Once the chips are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This step helps them firm up and reach that perfect crunch. After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. To get the best crunch, choose day-old sourdough bagels. They are drier and will crisp up better. Slice them thin, about ¼ inch thick. This thickness helps them bake evenly. When baking, watch closely to avoid overbaking. Check them at the 15-minute mark. If they look golden brown, they’re done. If they need more time, keep a close eye. Burnt chips lose their great taste. Serving these chips at a party? Use a rustic wooden bowl for a nice touch. You can add a colorful dip, like hummus or tzatziki. This adds flavor and makes your snack more fun. For a twist, try different dips like guacamole or spinach dip. The creamy texture pairs well with the crunchy bagel chips. Want to enjoy these later? You can easily prepare them in advance. Bake the chips, let them cool, and store them in an airtight container. They stay fresh for days! If they lose some crunch, reheat them in the oven. Set it to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes. This brings back their delightful crispness. {{image_2}} You can tweak the flavors of your bagel chips easily. Try adding different seasonings. Here are some fun ideas: - Spicy Kick: Add cayenne pepper or chili powder for heat. - Herb Blend: Use dried oregano or thyme for a fresh taste. - Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese for a savory touch. If you want a sweet treat, you can make sweet bagel chips too! Consider these options: - Cinnamon Sugar: Mix cinnamon with sugar for a sweet sprinkle. - Maple Drizzle: Brush with maple syrup before baking for a sweet glaze. For those needing gluten-free options, you can use gluten-free bagels. Many brands offer tasty versions. Just make sure to check the label. If you want a vegan twist, skip the cheese and use nutritional yeast instead. It adds a cheesy flavor without any dairy. You can also replace olive oil with avocado oil for a different taste. You can easily change the serving size to fit your needs. If you have a big crowd, double the recipe. Use four bagels instead of two. Just remember to adjust the oil and seasonings too. If you want a small snack, use one bagel. This makes a perfect portion for a quick treat. Think about the occasion when deciding how many chips to make. For movie night, make a larger batch. For a small lunch, a smaller batch works great! To keep your bagel chips fresh, store them in an airtight container. This helps prevent moisture and keeps them crunchy. You can also use resealable plastic bags. Make sure to squeeze out any air before sealing. This simple step keeps them tasty for longer. At room temperature, these bagel chips last about a week. If you see any signs of spoilage, like softness or a stale smell, toss them out. Freshness is key to enjoying that perfect crunch. You can freeze bagel chips for later use. Just place them in a freezer-safe bag, and remove as much air as possible. They will keep well for about three months. To thaw, simply let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. For the best texture, pop them in the oven for a few minutes to crisp them up again. Can I use fresh bagels instead of day-old? Yes, you can use fresh bagels. However, day-old bagels work best. They are drier and crisp up nicely. What can I use if I don't have everything bagel seasoning? You can mix your own! Use sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder. Can I make these in an air fryer? Absolutely! Set your air fryer to 350°F. Cook the chips for about 10 to 15 minutes. Shake them halfway through for even crisping. How do I know when they are done baking? Look for a golden brown color. The chips should feel crisp and firm to the touch. Where to buy quality sourdough bagels? Check local bakeries or grocery stores. Many have fresh sourdough bagels. Look for ones labeled “artisan” for the best quality. Are there pre-made options available in stores? Yes, some stores offer pre-made sourdough bagel chips. Look near other snack items or in the deli section. You now have a clear guide to making sourdough everything bagel chips.
