I doubled all the spices EXCEPT the chili powder. To make the spices stick better to the bagels, I threw them in a bowl, drizzled them with EVOO and then sprinkled the spices over the oiled bagel pieces. I then laid them out on a foil lined baking sheet and baked them golden brown. VERY addictive.

Awesome little treat! Plus it's a great way to use up the last of the stale bagels! These are delicious all by themselves, but are even better with your favorite dip. Thanks for the great recipe, sal!

Yummy snack. I mixed the seasoning and tossed all in a ziplock bag to coat evenly.

Very nice little bagel bites. I like them crispy and I wanted to make sure the seasonings would stick, so I tossed the bites into a bowl, added some olive oil and tossed until they were coated. Then I did the same thing with the seasonings (what can I say--I'm lazy and messy and I hate sprinkling things). It worked perfectly. 5 minutes wasn't crispy enough for me, so I did another 5 for a total of 10 minutes. 10 minutes was almost too long for the smaller and thinner pieces I managed--they were very brown, but very nice and crispy. I used cheese bagels that were about ready to give up the ghost, and they were perfect. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a very good snack! I used onion bagels for mine, other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. They were finished in exactly 5 minutes, and I had no problem with them holding the spice topping. They had a great flavor, and I'm sure I will make them again and again.

They taste alright but don't stay crispy for long!

I really didn't care for this recipe at all. I sprayed some butter flavored cooking spray on the bagels since it seemed like there should be something there for the seasonings to stick to. When all was said and done, there just wasn't much flavor to them, and most of them ended up getting thrown out.

I was really disappointed with these. I had a lot of difficulty slicing the bagels thinly - works a little better if the bagels are slightly frozen, but not much. The spicy cheese topping was pretty tasty, but it really didn't melt down nor stick to the bits of bagel; I would definitely recommend mixing in some butter or maybe even a little mayo. Still, there's no way I'll be making these again. Thanks anyway.
