I was thinking of bagel crisps but am open to other ideas. How does one make bagel crisps and/or what else can I do with these bagels.

Sometimes I'll spray with olive oil and toss with seasonings, but usually I don't bother, since I use the chips for dipping. Also, maybe try making bagel bite pizzas for snacks? It's kind of a kid food, but it hits the spot for me-- I just top them with spaghetti sauce and then shave parmesan on top and pop them under the broiler. The tomatoe sauce moistens the cut surfaces and the broiler toasts the staleness out.
