I first saw these crunchy bagels on Siri's blog and mentally noted it down to try. My husband buys bagels from Costco & BJ's occasionally and if you know anything about these warehouse stores, you know that they come in wholesale quantities. So we get about 9~12 bagels in one shot. I don't usually eat bagels and it's just my husband and my son who have to finish the whole bag. After about 2~3 days, they get tired of them and we have these sad looking bagels in the bread box.
So the last time I had some leftover bagels, I decided to turn them over into bagel chips. But all the savory ones were gone, I was left with an apple cider bagel and a cinnamon-raisin bagel. I added some cinnamon-sugar and melted butter -- once baked they get crispy & crunchy. These are best eaten right away.
These Bagel chips can be made with just about any bagel -- plain, wholewheat, everything and son. You can also make savory bagel chips by changing up the add-ins. Fresh or dried herbs, grated cheese, garlic salt, pepper are all great options to flavor the chips.I also made some honey & cinnamon flavored yogurt to dip the chips in. It was a yummy combination. My daughter and I licked off the whole bowl of dip with the chips :-)
