What type of seaweed is best for this snack?

Roasted nori sheets are ideal, as they have a crisp texture and rich umami flavor that crisps well in the oven.

Can I adjust the seasoning for a spicier flavor?

Yes, increasing chili flakes or adding a touch of smoked paprika can enhance the spiciness without overpowering the seaweed’s natural taste.

Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain crispness and prevent moisture absorption.

Agave syrup or honey can be used as substitutes, though honey is not vegan.

Chilled sake or sparkling mineral water complements the savory and slightly sweet flavors beautifully.

Crispy, savory seaweed snacks inspired by the flavors of the ocean, perfect for a light bite or a healthy snack on the go.

I love making these seaweed snacks when I want something crispy and flavorful without the guilt.
