Bagel chips are a delicious and delicious little snack. This dish was originally just a way to use up stale bagels. However, because they tasted good, delicious chips were then born. Now they no longer use stale bagels, but most people use fresh bagels and even make bagels specifically to make bagel chips. Many housewives now make these chips as a delicious snack at home and some even make them a staple food that many people like.
This small snack can be enjoyed in many ways, you can dip it in hummus, or eat it with prosciutto. Bagel chips are a snack of chips that are thinly sliced and tossed in olive oil, then baked until crispy. The best thing for making chips is a stale bagel because it tastes drier. You can adjust the recipe to your taste. For the recipe that I am sharing, I use all homemade ingredients. If you want, you can add cinnamon sugar, ranch powder, and garlic butter.
What many people love about these chips is their versatility. You can even add it to a cheese plate to add variety to your meal. It also makes a great side snack for soup or add to a Caesar salad.
