Learn how to make homemade bagel chips with this 3-ingredient recipe. Baked to perfection, they're great for dipping or as a crunchy snack! I use everything bagel seasoning in this recipe but you can customize the flavor to anything you want.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each bagel from top to bottom on a slight angle into thin rounds, about ⅛ to ¼-inch thick. A serrated knife is helpful here to get even slices.
Place the sliced bagels into a large bowl. Drizzle the oil over the bagel slices then use your hands to scoop and toss the bagel slices with the oil until evenly distributed.
Add the everything bagel seasoning and repeat scooping and tossing with your hands until the seasoning is well distributed.
Dump the bagel slices onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them into an even layer. Place any extra chips on top of the first layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then flip each chip over and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chips are lightly browned and crispy. Cool completely on the sheet on a wire rack then store in an air-tight zipper-top bag or container.
Notes
Any type of bagel can be used for this bagel chips recipe, but plain bagels are a good starting point if you want to experiment with adding flavoring.
Allow the bagel chips to cool completely before storing them. They'll continue to crisp up as they cool.
Homemade bagel chips can last up to a week when stored in an airtight zipper-top bag or container. If they start to lose their crunch, you can re-crisp them in the oven.
