The tastiest, easiest party dip ever

Looking for an easy party dip that both astounds and doesn’t turn brown after ten minutes? You found it! At its heart, it’s a very fancy ranch dressing dip: cool Greek yogurt thinned with fresh lemon juice drizzled with a fiery garlic and chili oil. 

This easy dip recipe was inspired by one of my favorite cooking writers, Alison Roman, with her Labneh Dip with sizzled scallions and chili. It’s laughably simple to prepare and ready in a snap for those last minute gatherings. Serve it with everything everything bagel chips or your favorite crackers. 

Everything Everything Bagel Chips

Dangerously addictive, and similar to making croutons, these bagel chips will warm your home with the smell of melted, browning butter and bread. If that were a perfume, I’d spritz it all over my head. 

These everything everything bagel chips are so versatile. They’re excellent in salads, with a slice of sharp white cheddar, as a solo afternoon snack, with lox and cream cheese…or of course, with this creamy garlic-chili dip.

What makes them “everything everything” bagel chips? They’re made with everything bagels, and they’re coated with butter and everything bagel seasoning.

How to make Everything Everything Bagel Chips

Step 1: Slice four (4) Everything bagels vertically in 1/4" thick strips. Arrange flat on two parchment lined cookie sheets.
Step 2: Melt 4 tbsp salted butter and combine with 4 tbsp olive oil and 2 tsp Everything Bagel seasoning.
Step 3: Brush butter-oil-seasoning onto bagels. Bake at 325 degrees for 26-30 minutes, flipping bagel chips half way through.
Step 4: Check for doneness: should be completely crisp--no soft centers. Cool before serving. Can be stored in a freezer gallon ziplock bag for up to one month.

Creamy Parmesan Garlic-Chili Ranch Dip

This dip is perfection. Its creamy Greek yogurt base gets a lemony pucker and a roundhouse kick of heat from garlic and red pepper flakes. Spooning dollops of it on an everything everything bagel chip and subsequently on everything else is a normal side effect of this dip. Ask your doctor; they’ll tell you avocados cause more cooking injuries than any other food. Skip the guac. This is much easier and ten times more delicious. 

It’s also not that spicy of a dip. I’m admittedly a big wuss with spicy food, and this is heat I can handle and enjoy. Red pepper flakes give off a kind of light burn at the back of the throat, and its firepower is quickly deluged by the coolness of the Greek yogurt.
