Ingredients
  

4 everything bagels (fresh or stale)

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra richness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Slice the Bagels: Using a serrated knife, slice each bagel into thin chips, about 1/4 inch thick.

      Prepare the Oil Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, if using.

        Coat the Bagel Chips: Place the bagel slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the oil mixture over the bagel chips and toss gently until well coated.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the bagel slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they don’t overlap for even baking.

            Sprinkle with Parmesan (Optional): If you’re using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle a little over each slice for added flavor.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even crispiness.

                Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, allow the bagel chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to completely cool. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

                  Serve: Enjoy your crunchy everything bagel chips as a snack, or serve them with your favorite dips like hummus or cream cheese!
