These homemade bagel chips are crunchy, savory, and incredibly easy to make. Whether you need a quick snack, a party appetizer, or a sturdy dip companion, this recipe checks all the boxes. Best of all, they are made with just a few simple ingredients and cooked in the air fryer. As a result, ordinary gluten-free bagels turn into a crispy, flavorful snack in under 15 minutes.
In addition, these chips are the perfect dipper for my Roasted Garlic Hummus. Because they are sturdy and crunchy, they hold up beautifully without breaking, even with thick, creamy dips. At the same time, the light garlic seasoning complements the rich roasted garlic flavor of the hummus. Altogether, this creates a savory bite that feels elevated yet still simple and family friendly. Whether you are serving them as an appetizer, adding them to a snack board, or packing them for easy gluten free snacking, this is a dip-and-crunch combo you will want to make on repeat.
An air fryer is one of my favorite kitchen tools for making crispy snacks like these bagel chips. It cooks them evenly in minutes without deep frying, and the one I use at home is reliable, easy to clean, and perfect for everyday gluten free cooking.
