    If you are looking for a really simple and Addictive Rye Chips Recipe or rye crisps, you have come to the right place.

    These are so easy to prepare and perfect for using with your favorite dips. These make the perfect snack for whatever you have planned whether it is game day or just a gathering.

    How to use homemade rye chips

    1. Snacking: Enjoy homemade rye chips as a crunchy and flavorful snack straight from the oven.
    2. Salad Topping: Crush or break homemade rye chips into smaller pieces and use them as croutons on salads for added texture and flavor.
    3. Soup Garnish: Float homemade rye chips on top of soups to provide a delightful crunch and enhance the soup's flavor.
    4. Dipping: Serve homemade rye chips with your favorite dips and spreads for a sturdy and tasty dipping option.
    5. Charcuterie Board: Include homemade rye chips on a charcuterie board to add a crunchy element alongside cheeses, cured meats, and other accompaniments. I love these with Swiss cheese or blue cheese.

    Ingredients

    • Rye Bread- you can buy this or make it at home. Here is my favorite recipe for rye bread. Another option is to use rye bagels. 
    • Olive oil- You can also use melted butter or vegetable oil. 
    • Seasonings- these can include garlic powder for garlic rye chips. I like to do a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. 

    How to make rye chips

    1. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (175°C).
    2. Slice the rye bread: Be sure to slice it into very thin slices. The thinner the slices, the crispier your rye chips will be. If you are using rye bagels, cut into thin bagel slices. 
    3. Cut the slices into desired shapes: You can cut the slices into triangles, squares, or any other shape you prefer. Keep in mind that smaller pieces will cook faster. Be sure to use a sharp knife or even a pizza cutter to get clean edges. 
    4. Arrange on a baking sheet: Place the rye bread pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they are not overlapping.
    5. Brush with oil: Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each rye bread piece with olive oil. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
    6. Season the rye chips: Sprinkle your preferred seasonings over the oiled rye bread slices. Common choices include salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or a mixture of dried herbs. Be creative and use seasonings that you enjoy. If you don't want the seasonings, that is ok too. I think the natural flavor of the crispy rye is delicious!
    7. Bake in the oven: Place the baking sheet with the rye chips in the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, as they can go from perfectly crispy to burnt quickly.
    8. Cool and store: Once the rye chips are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool. Once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crispness.

    Dip ideas

    Let me share some of my favorite dips that pair well with these tasty rye chips. 

    1. Hummus: Hummus is a classic and versatile dip made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. It has a creamy texture and pairs wonderfully with the crunch of rye crackers.
    2. Tzatziki: Tzatziki is a Greek yogurt-based dip with cucumbers, garlic, and fresh dill. It's cool, and refreshing, and complements the slightly tangy flavor of rye crackers.
    3. Guacamole: Guacamole is a creamy avocado dip with tomatoes, onions, lime juice, and cilantro. It's so good and goes well with the earthy taste of rye crackers.
    4. Salsa: Salsa is a classic tomato-based dip with onions, cilantro, lime juice, and various seasonings. It's a great choice for adding a flavor hit to your rye crackers.
    5. Spinach and Artichoke Dip: This creamy dip combines spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, and grated cheese. It's rich and savory, making it a delicious choice for rye crackers.
    6. Baba Ganoush: Baba ganoush is a roasted eggplant dip with tahini, garlic, and lemon juice. It has a smoky flavor and pairs nicely with the nuttiness of rye crackers.
    7. Olive Tapenade: Olive tapenade is made from finely chopped olives, capers, garlic, and olive oil. It's salty and briny, providing a bold flavor that complements rye crackers.
    8. Ranch Dressing: Ranch dressing is a creamy and tangy dip that works well with the crunchy texture of rye crackers. It's a favorite for dipping veggies too.
    9. Sour Cream and Onion Dip: A simple mix of sour cream and dried onion soup mix creates a flavorful and creamy dip that pairs nicely with rye crackers.
    10. Pimento Cheese Spread: Pimento cheese spread combines shredded cheese, mayonnaise, diced pimentos, and spices. It's creamy, slightly tangy, and great for spreading or dipping with rye crackers.

    I think this works especially well with the rye chips you make from rye bagels. It will look a little truer to form. 

    Mix together wheat chex and corn chex, mini pretzels, and the rye crisps in a bowl. 

    In a small pan, mix together butter, dry ranch mix, Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. More on measurements in this post from Cookie Rookie. 

    Bake and enjoy.

    What is rye bread?

    Rye bread is typically made from a combination of rye flour and wheat flour, with varying proportions that produce different types of rye bread, ranging from light to dark.

    It is known for its distinct, slightly tangy flavor, attributed to natural acids formed during fermentation, especially in traditional sourdough rye bread.

    The texture of rye bread is denser and heavier compared to wheat bread due to the lower gluten content in rye flour, making it less elastic and somewhat crumbly.

    Rye bread comes in numerous regional varieties, such as pumpernickel, Russian black bread, and German-style rye bread, each with its unique characteristics
