Savory Veggie Bagels with Sundried Tomatoes
What it is
These are plant-based bagels infused with a blend of vegetables and seasonings. They feature the distinct flavors of sundried tomatoes, carrots, celery, toasted onion, and garlic, offering a savory and aromatic profile. The dough is typically baked to achieve a chewy interior and a slightly crisp exterior, making them a satisfying base for various toppings.

To best enjoy these veggie bagels, consider toasting them lightly. This process enhances their texture and brings out the savory notes of the vegetables and seasonings. They are excellent when served warm. You can slice them in half and spread them with your favorite cream cheese, hummus, or avocado. Alternatively, use them as the bread for a hearty sandwich, layering with vegetables, plant-based proteins, or spreads. They also pair well with a side of soup or salad for a more complete meal.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain bagels, these are pre-seasoned with a medley of vegetables and aromatics. This inherent flavor profile means they require less additional seasoning and offer a more complex taste experience from the start. The inclusion of sundried tomatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic sets them apart from simpler varieties.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for flavorful and convenient plant-based bread options will appreciate these bagels.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any leftover bagels in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for a few days. For longer storage, they can be frozen. Ensure they are completely cooled before freezing, and wrap them individually or in a sealed bag to prevent freezer burn. Thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
