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, ½ teaspoon chili flakes (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

To keep your chips extra crunchy, consider using a second baking sheet to gently weigh them down while baking. This prevents curling and helps them bake evenly. Make sure to watch closely towards the end of baking to avoid any burning, as nori crisps quickly.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Experiment with different seasonings like furikake or smoked paprika to introduce new flavors. The optional garlic powder and chili flakes add versatility depending on your taste preference. You can also try flavored nori sheets but always check for allergens.
