This Everything Bagel Bits recipe transforms simple dough into addictive, bite-sized treasures that capture the iconic flavor of a classic New York bagel in a snackable format. These golden nuggets are prized for their perfect contrast—a crisp, toasted exterior heavily coated in savory seeds and spices, and a soft, chewy interior that satisfies with every bite. Whether served as a party appetizer, a salad topper, or a late-night snack, these bits offer a concentrated burst of garlic, onion, and sesame that makes them impossible to stop eating.
