\u00a0Instructions<\/h2>\n
Step 1: Prep the Bagels<\/h3>\n
\nSlice the bagels into small, evenly sized cubes. Consistency in size ensures that the bagel bits bake evenly and crisp up nicely. If your bagels are fresh and soft, consider toasting lightly in a toaster for 2\u20133 minutes to remove excess moisture before cubing.<\/p>\nStep 2: Coat the Bagel Cubes<\/h3>\n
\nDrizzle with olive oil or melted butter and toss to coat evenly.
\nSprinkle everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt over the bagels. Toss again until all cubes are coated thoroughly. Use your hands to gently press the seasoning into the cubes for maximum flavor.<\/p>\nStep 3: Arrange for Baking<\/h3>\n
\nSpread the bagel cubes in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Overlapping can result in uneven crisping.<\/p>\nStep 4: Bake Until Crispy<\/h3>\n
\nKeep an eye on them during the last few minutes\u2014they should turn a golden brown and smell fragrant.<\/p>\nStep 5: Cool Completely<\/h3>\n
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy<\/h3>\n
