Italian Bagel Chips...

6 plain bagels, thinly sliced
4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp. minced fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
4 tbsp. freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place bagel slices in a single layer on the baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper. With a pastry brush, brush the tops of the bagel slices and top with a sprinkling of the cheese.

Bake the bagel slices for 15 to 20 minutes or until they become crisp and turn a golden brown color and the cheese has melted. Remove from oven and cool slightly on cookie racks. Store in an airtight container.
