Ingredients

• Seaweed
  • 8 large sheets roasted nori
• Seasonings
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1½ teaspoons sea salt (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• Optional
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Stack 2 nori sheets at a time and brush the top layer lightly with sesame oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and sesame seeds. Add garlic powder or chili flakes if desired.

3. Place the other sheet directly on top and press gently to adhere. Repeat with remaining sheets.

4. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut the stacked sheets into small rectangles or triangles (about 2 x 5 cm).

5. Arrange the pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until crisp but not browned. Watch closely to avoid burning.

7. Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container to keep crispy.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For an even crunchier texture, place a second baking sheet on top of the chips while baking. This slight pressure helps keep the chips flat and crispy without curling.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Experiment with different seasonings like furikake or smoked paprika to create new flavor profiles. Adding garlic powder or chili flakes gives you the flexibility to customize the heat and aroma according to your preferences.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these savory chips as a standalone snack or alongside sushi, poke bowls, or fresh salads for an added textural contrast and burst of flavor.
