Roasted Seaweed Chips (Printable)

Light and flavorful roasted seaweed chips with a satisfying crunch. Simple, vegan, and gluten-free snacking.

# What You Need:

→ Main

01 - 6 sheets of dried nori (seaweed), sushi-grade

→ Seasoning

02 - 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil (or neutral oil)
03 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place one nori sheet on the parchment, shiny side down.
03 - Lightly brush the top of the sheet with sesame oil, then sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt.
04 - Place another nori sheet on top to make a double layer, brush with oil, and sprinkle again with salt. Repeat until all sheets are used, forming 3 sandwiched pairs.
05 - Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut each pair into 2-inch wide strips or squares.
06 - Arrange the pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet, taking care not to overlap.
07 - Roast for 6–8 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Chips should be crisp and dark green.
08 - Let cool completely before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They take less than 15 minutes from start to finish, and most of that is just oven time.
  • You get all the crispy satisfaction of chips without any guilt or heaviness.
  • The sesame oil adds a toasty richness that makes them taste restaurant-quality.
  • They're endlessly customizable with spices, so you never get bored.
02 -
  • The first time I made these, I set the oven to 350°F and they went from perfect to charred in under a minute, so keep the temp low.
  • If your nori sheets are stuck together when you open the package, gently peel them apart or they won't crisp evenly.
  • Don't skip the cooling step, because warm seaweed chips are chewy and disappointing.
03 -
  • Use a pastry brush instead of your fingers to apply the oil evenly without tearing the nori.
  • If you want them extra crispy, roast them in a single layer without stacking and flip them halfway through.
  • Buy nori in bulk from an Asian grocery store, it's much cheaper than the tiny packs at regular supermarkets.
