BAGEL CHIPS

1 bagel
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp fat-free Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp chili powder

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (or toaster oven works fine).

With a sharp knife, slice bagel into very thin slices so that you can almost see through them (you'll get about 10 slices). Place slices on a baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Quickly sprinkle in a small amount of seasoning (a little goes a long way) or leave plain.

Bake for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned-be careful; they burn easily. Break each slice into 4 chips.
