These snackable crisps are perfect for a cheese plate, a snack lunch or a road trip. Use as many bagels as you’d like, and season before and after cooking for bagel chips that bite. Stir or toss the chips halfway through cooking to help them cook evenly. Trader Joe’s sells an everything bagel seasoning mixture that is a perfect match for these chips, but so are the spice rubs and mixes already in your pantry. You could use cinnamon and sugar to make a sweet bagel chip, but the cookbook authors don’t recommend using blueberry or raisin bagels to make the chips because small pieces of the fruit might fall to the bottom of the fryer and burn. You’ll have to use a whole, unsplit bagel if you want full bagel rounds. A bagel already split into halves will yield bagel straws.

1 or 2 bagels, sliced

1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil or melted butter

Heavy pinch of salt, garlic salt or other spice mix

In a large bowl, toss together the ingredients. Place them in the basket of an air fryer and cook at 400 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing halfway through. Keep an eye on the chips during their last few minutes. You want them crisp and brown, but not burnt. Season again, to taste, and serve. Serves 2 to 4.
