Ingredients
plain bagels
4 (sliced thinly)
olive oil
1/4 cup (for infusing with garlic)
garlic
2 cloves (peeled and smashed)
Creole seasoning
1/2 teaspoon (to mix with oil)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each bagel into thin rounds, aiming for 8 to 10 slices per bagel for optimal crispness.
3
Arrange the bagel slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are not overlapping.
4
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until warm, about 1 minute, then remove from heat.
5
Add the smashed garlic and Creole seasoning to the warm oil and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes. This lets the garlic infuse the oil with its flavor.
6
After 10 minutes, strain the garlic from the oil to leave behind just the infused oil.
7
Using a pastry brush, gently coat each side of the bagel slices with the garlic-infused oil mixture.
8
Bake the bagel slices in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through baking.
9
Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on wire racks before serving. Enjoy your delicious Garlic Creole Bagel Crisps!
