Bagel Crisps

Kids and consistency (especially when it comes to their likes and dislikes in food) don't go hand in hand - atleast in the case of my daughter. What is her favorite one day may not be all that appealing to her a few days later and I have to constantly think of new ways to keep her interest engaged and go with what her current preferences. So, what once seemed like the perfect lunchbox idea - bagels and veggie cream cheese (since she couldn't get enough of it & it was an easy fix for me when paired with some baby carrots and fruit) was quickly dismissed and that too soon after I bought a pack of mini bagels. So, these poor guys just hibernated in one of our refrigerator shelves waiting to see the light of day... until I got the idea to use them and make bagel crisps so it could serve as a crunchy snack for tea time. Now, I have a good way to use these leftover bagels and have also figured out my daughter's latest craze which is heart shaped stuff.. so i can send her anything i want for lunch (bread, dosa, idli) as long as they are shaped like hearts... so it all ended well - atleast for the time being :)

BAGEL CRISPS


Ingredients:
Left over Bagels - about 6 mini bagels, sliced very thinly (mine were a bit hard due to the refrigeration so it was easy to do this with a sharp knife)
Olive oil - 1/4 cup
Garlic powder - half tsp
Red Chilli flakes - 1 tsp
Italian seasoning - half tsp
Salt & Pepper - 1/4 tsp each or to taste

Method:
1) Preheat oven to 300F and line baking sheets with foil and spray lightly.

2) In a small bowl, combine olive oil and heat gently until warm. Stir in the seasonings and remove from the stove.

3) Place the sliced bagels on the baking sheet in a single layer and brush this seasoned oil evenly.

4) Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 to 7 minutes till golden brown and then flip over and bake the other side as well until crisp and golden.


These are delicious as is for a snack or when served with soup.
