Crispy chips from nori sheets, sprinkled with sesame seeds, cayenne pepper and sea salt, lightly brushed with sesame oil and baked in the oven. Almost calorie-free, packed with umami and ready in fifteen minutes.
It takes exactly ten minutes in the oven — and then your kitchen fills with that unmistakable aroma of toasted sesame and seaweed. Each piece is paper-thin, shatter-crispy, with a subtle cayenne glow that follows right behind the umami flavour. This is the snack you eat during a film instead of crisps, but with the salty elegance of the sea and the warmth of the East.

Nutritional Synergies
This recipe combines ingredients that enhance each other:
Classic Asian combination: minerals + healthy fats
Technical: Nori provides iodine and minerals, sesame seeds add calcium (975mg/100g), iron and healthy fats. The combination enhances absorption of fat-soluble vitamins from nori.
What does this mean for you? Sprinkle sesame seeds on your sushi or rice dishes for a more nutritious meal.

Sesame oil fats enhance absorption of sesame seed lignans
Technical: Sesame seeds contain lignans (sesamin, sesamolin) that are fat-soluble. Sesame oil provides the ideal fat matrix for absorption. Additionally, the oil contains different bioactive forms (sesamol) that work complementarily to lignans in whole seeds.
What does this mean for you? Top dishes with both sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil — you get the fiber and minerals from the seeds plus optimal lignan absorption.
