Ingredients
  

2 large everything bagels

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

2 tablespoons poppy seeds (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures a perfectly toasted, crispy texture.

    Slice the Bagels: Using a sharp bread knife, carefully slice each bagel into thin, even chips, approximately 1/4 inch thick. For best results, press down firmly but gently to avoid squishing the bagels.

      Prepare the Seasoning Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, fine sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and a smooth seasoning blend forms.

        Coat the Bagel Chips: Transfer the sliced bagels to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the bagel slices and gently toss them using your hands or a spatula, ensuring each chip is evenly coated with the flavorful oil blend.

          Arrange on Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Lay the bagel slices in a single layer on the baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap. This is crucial for achieving even toasting and crispiness.

            Add Optional Toppings: If you want to elevate the flavor and crunch, sprinkle sesame seeds and poppy seeds generously over the bagel chips before baking.

              Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, keeping an eye on them, and turn the chips halfway through the baking time to ensure they crisp evenly. Look for a beautiful golden hue.

                Cool and Serve: Once the chips are out of the oven, let them cool completely on the baking sheets. As they cool, they will become even crisper. Enjoy them plain or serve with your favorite dips, such as creamy hummus or zesty guacamole for a perfect snack moment.
