Ingredients
  

4 everything bagels (you can use store-bought or your favorite homemade version)

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for an extra depth of flavor)

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional for added texture)

1 teaspoon poppy seeds (optional for visual appeal)

Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure an even bake.

    Slice the Bagels: Carefully slice each bagel into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Using a sharp serrated knife will help achieve clean, even slices, which is essential for consistent crispiness.

      Prepare the Seasoning: In a medium bowl, mix together the extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly combined into a smooth seasoning blend.

        Coat the Bagel Slices: Place the bagel rounds in a large mixing bowl. Evenly drizzle the seasoning mixture over the bagel slices, then gently toss to coat every slice thoroughly, ensuring they are all seasoned for maximum flavor.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for effortless clean-up. Spread the seasoned bagel slices in a single layer across the sheets, ensuring that they are not overlapping to allow for even baking.

            Bake: Carefully place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning the bagel chips halfway through the baking time for uniform crispness. Keep a close watch during the last few minutes to prevent any burning, as oven temperatures can vary.

              Cool and Store: Once they’re beautifully golden and crunchy, remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the bagel chips cool completely on the sheets. This cooling step is crucial for achieving optimal crunch. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container where they can be stored for up to a week (if they last that long!).

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your delectable crunchy everything bagel chips as a delightful snack, a creative appetizer, or a perfect dipping partner for your favorite hummus or other dips. Relish in the satisfying crunch and glorious flavor!
