Everything Bagel Veggie Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese, sour cream and 3 Tbsp. everything bagel seasoning until blended; spoon into serving bowl. Sprinkle with remaining seasoning.
• Trim leaves off radishes and celery stalks; reserve leaves for later use. Cut radishes into quarters, then cut celery and cucumber into thin 2-inch sticks.
• Place dip bowl on center of platter; surround with vegetables and reserved leaves.

Steps:

• In a heavy bottomed pot, heat the oil to 325 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch-by-1/2-inch sticks. Rinse the starch off the fries by running them under cold water. Pour the fries onto a paper towel-lined baking sheet and pat dry.
• Drop the fries into the oil in small batches. (You want 1 to 2 inches of oil above the potatoes, so don't overcrowd.) Parcook the potatoes until they're light golden brown and almost cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet lined with paper towels or a baking sheet with a roasting rack on top for draining. Repeat until all the potatoes are cooked.
• Rinse the blanched fries under cold water one more time, pouring them back onto a paper towel-lined baking sheet to dry. (If making the fries ahead of time, you can freeze the fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 1 hour. The frozen fries can also be stored in a resealable plastic bag in the freezer up to 1 month.)
• Increase the temperature of the oil to 360 degrees F. When the oil is up to temp, carefully drop in 2 small handfuls of fries at a time to finish cooking them, allowing them to crisp up. This will take another 2 minutes and they will finish turning golden brown. Remove the fries from the oil to a medium bowl, seasoning well with salt and everything bagel spice immediately after they come out of the oil. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• With a sharp knife, very carefully slice the bagels one at a time as thinly as possible, for 8 to 10 thin slices per bagel. Spread in 1 layer on the prepared sheets.
• Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. When oil starts to get warm, about 1 minute, remove from the heat and add the garlic and Essence. Let sit until the garlic perfumes the oil, about 10 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oil.
• With a pastry brush, lightly brush the oil on the bagel chips. Bake until golden brown. Turn and bake on the second side until just crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks.
• To serve, arrange the bagel chips on a platter with the creamy garlic and vegetable spread.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

• In a bowl, cream together the cream cheese and sour cream. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.
• Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Bring to room temperature before serving. (The spread will keep for 3 days refrigerated.)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the dried onion, seeds, garlic powder and flaky salt. In a medium bowl, using a whisk or an electric hand mixer, blend together the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and fluffy. Stir in all but 1 tablespoon of spice mixture.
• Eat at once, or refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to 5 days for dip to thicken and flavors to meld. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon spice mixture, and serve chips, vegetables or pretzels.
