Easy Entertaining - Gluten Free Za'atar Bagel Chips With White Bean Dip

If you're hosting a Holiday party and need some gluten free ideas to accommodate some of your guests, check this out.

How about a healthier version of chips and dip with a Mediterranean twist? Our friends at Udi's Gluten Free sent us some of their gluten free bagels to try and, naturally, we made bagel chips. Just because they're more fun than just spreading some cream cheese on them. And because they're delicious, super crunchy and make a perfect snack or appetizer.

Best part? No one will even notice they're gluten free. These folks at Udi's obviously know what they're doing 🙂

Gluten Free Bagel Chips:

• Prep time: 15 minutes
• Cook time: 20 minutes
• Ingredients: 

• 2 plain gluten free bagels (we use Udi's Plain Bagels)
• 2 ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoon za'atar*

*Za'atar is a Middle Easter herb mixture that can be found in specialty stores. If you can’t find it, try using oregano, thyme or Italian seasoning.

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Slice each bagel in half, then cut each half into thin slices (approximately ⅛ inch). Place them in a large bowl, drizzle olive oil and season with za’atar spice. Toss gently so they are coated
3. Arrange bagel slices in a single layer on baking sheet and bake at 325F for about 20 minutes, until golden brown

White bean dip:

Combine all the ingredients, except olive oil in the food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, while slowly pouring in the olive oil.
