Homemade Seaweed Snacks
Ali Segersten
Have you ever tried those salty seaweed snacks you buy at places like Trader Joe's? I know, they're addicting, we've tried them before and my children loved them! I won't buy them because they have so much packaging and because canola oil is listed as one of the ingredients (which is often genetically engineered). My 10 year old daughter has been thinking about a way to make them for months and she finally decided to figure it out last week. I asked her to write a "guest post" for me, but she didn't want to. She did, however, write the recipe below but wanted me to "introduce" it.
When she makes these, the other children hover over the pans as they come out of the oven and devour them ALL in one sitting. She will then proceed to make another batch and quickly hide some of them for her lunch. Seaweed, with the addition of unrefined sea salt, is a very nutritious trace-mineral snack!
Here is Lily's recipe. I was amazed that she knew how to organize and write a recipe....it must be from using my cookbook and cooking on her own. She asked me quite a few times what she should say next and I would reply: "what was your next step?" Then she would realize that she already knew the answer and proceed to type it up.
Homemade Nori Seaweed Snacks
This recipe and these photos were done by my oldest daughter, Lily (at 10 years old). In her words: I like to pack these in my lunch or make them when I get home from school. My brothers and sister like them too!
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
- Cut nori into small squares using a sharp scissors.
- Place nori onto cookie sheet and, using a pastry brush, brush a light coating of toasted sesame oil onto both the front and backs of the squares. Then sprinkle a little sea salt on them.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool and then place into an airtight glass container. Enjoy!
