Using Frozen Bagels in a Whole New Way!

Whole bagels are a good seller in just about any food establishment, but have you ever thought of making bagel chips out of them? They’re really easy, and your customers will gobble them up!

First of course, you need to let your bagels come to room temperature. Then, using a meat slicer or just being careful to slice the bagels very thinly (but leaving them whole as you do,) slice each bagel to about 1/8” thick. Place the slices into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Then top with whatever herbs and spices you like! Garlic works well, salt is a must, and extra flavorings such as basil and oregano can work very well too.

How you cook your bagel chips is up to you. The first option is to deep-fry them for about 5 – 10 minutes a batch, depending on how many you place in the oil. Keep an eye on them, turning and separating when needed. But don’t worry if the chips start to curl in on themselves. Although it won’t hold the shape of the bagel, they’ll be extra crispy and delicious!

You can also bake the chips in a 375 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through. Some like to bake them this way because it gives you the whole bagel shape, making them much more like bagel chips.
