Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Slice bagels into rounds ⅛" or thinner. Arrange on a sheet pan in an even layer.

Step 3

Use a pastry brush to lightly brush or dab the top of each bagel slice with olive oil. Don't worry about perfect coverage, just a few dabs of oil per slice is fine.

Step 4

Sprinkle the bagel chips with salt and any other seasonings you like.

Step 5

Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until the chips are toasted and crisp. Thinner chips will crisp up faster — remove any chips from the pan early if they are fully browned to avoid burning while the remaining chips bake.

Step 6

Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a month.
