Ingredients
- 2 large bagels plain, sesame, or your preferred flavor
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice the Bagels:
- Using a sharp knife, slice the bagels horizontally into thin rounds, about 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Try to make the slices as uniform as possible for even cooking.
Prepare the Seasoning:
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Coat the Bagel Slices:
- Place the bagel slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over the bagel slices, tossing gently to coat each slice evenly.
Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Arrange the seasoned bagel slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.
Bake the Bagel Chips:
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the bagel chips for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the cooking time to prevent burning.
Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the bagel chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
- Transfer the cooled bagel chips to a serving bowl or plate and serve them immediately, or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
Tips:
- Customization: Feel free to customize the seasoning to your liking. Experiment with different herbs and spices, such as rosemary, paprika, or cumin, to create unique flavor combinations.
- Storage: Store any leftover bagel chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they start to lose their crispiness, you can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
