How to Make Everything Bagel Bits
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Toss the Bread
Place bread pieces in a bowl and drizzle with melted butter or olive oil. Toss until evenly coated.
Step 3: Season
Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the bread and toss again until well coated.
Step 4: Bake
Spread the pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crispy.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let cool slightly — they’ll crisp up even more as they cool!
