Frequently Asked Questions About Simit crisps
What are simit crisps?
Simit crisps are crunchy, sesame-coated baked pieces inspired by simit, the ring-shaped Turkish bread. They are eaten as a snack or served with dips, much like crackers, but have the characteristic sesame flavor of simit.
How do you make simit crisps at home?
You can make simit crisps by cutting simit into bite-size pieces and baking them until dry and crunchy. Spread the pieces in a single layer and keep an eye on them so the sesame coating does not burn.
Are simit crisps the same as bagel chips?
No, simit crisps are not quite the same as bagel chips. Both are crunchy baked snacks, but simit crisps take their flavor from simit and its sesame coating, while bagel chips are made from bagels and may use different seasonings.
What do you eat with simit crisps?
Simit crisps pair well with hummus, labneh, and other thick dips. You can also serve them on a snack board with cheese and olives; add them just before serving so they stay crisp.
How should you store simit crisps?
Store simit crisps in an airtight container once they have cooled completely. Keep the container in a cool, dry place, away from steam and moisture, which can make the pieces lose their crunch.
Can you make simit crisps from leftover simit?
Yes, leftover simit can be turned into simit crisps. Cut it into small pieces and bake them until crisp; discard any simit that has mold or an unpleasant smell rather than trying to salvage it.
Can simit crisps be used instead of croutons?
Yes, crushed simit crisps can add crunch to salads and soups in place of croutons. Their sesame flavor is more distinctive, so use them where that toasted, nutty taste will complement the other ingredients.
Are simit crisps baked or fried?
Simit crisps are baked, not fried. Baking dries the pieces and gives them their crunchy texture; at home, spread them on a tray rather than piling them up so they crisp more evenly.
How can you refresh stale simit crisps?
You can refresh stale simit crisps by warming them briefly in the oven until they feel crisp again. Let them cool before eating, since they become crunchier as they cool, and watch closely to prevent browning.
Where do simit crisps come from?
Simit crisps are based on simit, a sesame-coated bread strongly associated with Turkey. The crisp snack keeps simit's familiar sesame character in a smaller, crunchier form that is easy to serve with tea or dips.

What is Simit crisps?
Simit crisps are crunchy baked pieces made from or inspired by simit, Turkey’s ring-shaped bread traditionally coated in sesame. They keep the familiar toasted, sesame-rich character of a bakery simit in a crisp snack form.
In Turkey, they’re an easy nibble alongside tea, or can be served with breakfast foods such as cheese, olives and tomatoes. Elsewhere, enjoy them as a savoury snack or serve them with dips and a cheese board. They are mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some protein and fibre, and are fairly energy-dense: a small handful can go a long way. Pair them with fresh vegetables or a yoghurt-based dip for a more balanced snack.
