I have to admit that bagels rarely go stale at my house. Even when I bake a full-dozen batch of Sourdough Bagels, we eat them before the week’s end as breakfast and lunch sandwiches. But after a disappointing snack of store-bought bagel chips, I had to turn some of my next sourdough bagel batch into a homemade version, which I share this week in my Twice as Tasty column for the Flathead Beacon. They are so delicious that I might have to start making double batches of bagels just so I can have the dense rolls and crispy chips on hand.
Sourdough bagel chips are just as easy to make as Twice-Baked Sourdough Pita Chips and just as irresistible as a crunchy snack. Along with the recipe in my column, I offer plenty of topping ideas, for both the original boiled bagels and the second baking into chips. Of course, I recommend making the bagels yourself with a sourdough starter, but you can bake store-bought bagels into chips in the same way.

With so many topping options, it’s easy to gobble up an entire batch of homemade bagel chips on their own, but they’re also delicious paired with dips. The chips are sturdy enough that they support even the thickest dips, like a new goat cheese dip I’ll be sharing in my column just in time for Super Bowl gatherings.
Until then, here are a few other dip recipes on the blog that I enjoy with sourdough bagel chips. You can find more in the recipe index.
- Grilled Onion Guacamole
- Quick Beer–Cheese Dip
- Creamy White Bean and Yogurt Dip
- Roasted Garlic Hummus
- Spiced Red Lentil Dip
- Onion Lover’s Dip
