Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

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

2. Prepare Nori Sheets

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. Layer Sheets

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

4. Cut Into Pieces

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

5. Arrange on Baking Sheet

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

6. Bake

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

7. Cool and Store

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

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Um eine gleichmäßige Knusprigkeit zu erzielen, achten Sie darauf, die Chips während des Backens einmal zu wenden. Die Verwendung von Backpapier verhindert ein Anhaften und sorgt für eine einfache Reinigung. Für mehr Geschmack können Sie die optionalen Gewürze nach Belieben variieren.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Probieren Sie verschiedene Gewürze wie Furikake oder geräucherte Paprika, um neue Geschmackserlebnisse zu schaffen. Die Chips lassen sich leicht anpassen, indem Sie beispielsweise Chili-Flakes für eine schärfere Note hinzufügen oder den Knoblauchpulver weglassen.

Serviervorschläge

Diese knusprigen Algenchips sind ideal als Snack zwischendurch oder als knusprige Beilage zu Sushi, Poke Bowls oder Salaten. Sie passen ebenfalls hervorragend zu Dips oder als ein leichter Appetizer bei geselligen Zusammenkünften.
