Bagel chips

Bagel Chips are thin, crispy slices made from traditional bagels that are baked until they achieve a crunchy texture, perfect for accompanying dips, salads, or even to enjoy as a snack. These chips retain the characteristic slightly sweet flavor and dense texture of the original bagel, but in a much lighter and crispier version.

The bagel is a bread of Jewish origin, traditionally associated with Eastern European communities, especially Poland, and has become popular worldwide, particularly in the United States. These chips are made from this round bread with a hole in the center by slicing the bagel into thin slices that are then baked or toasted.

Properties: Bagel chips retain some of the properties of the original bread: they are a source of carbohydrates that provide quick energy. Depending on the recipe or the type of bagel used, they may contain seeds such as sesame or poppy, which provide fiber and healthy fats. Although they are an energy-dense food, being baked and in small portions, they are ideal for snacks or for adding texture to dishes.

Synonyms in Latin America: In some Spanish-speaking countries, there is no specific name for bagel chips, but they may be referred to as "chips de pan", "rebanadas crujientes de bagel", or simply "bagel tostado en rodajas" or "bagel crocante". In general, the term bagel chips is quite descriptive and is understood in the culinary context.
