BHA & BHT Free Cilantro-Lime Seaweed Snack Squares
Packaged seaweed snacks are a convenient pantry staple, but many commercial versions sneak in preservatives like BHA and BHT to extend their shelf life — which makes finding a clean option trickier than it should be. This homemade version solves that problem entirely, relying on a short list of whole, recognizable ingredients that you can feel good about. Layers of unseasoned nori get brushed with a bright glaze of coconut aminos, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and cilantro, then baked low and slow until they shatter into satisfying, crispy squares. The ground ginger and turmeric add a subtle warmth that makes each bite feel more complex than you'd expect from something so simple. Baking them stacked together creates a sturdy, multi-layered crunch that genuinely rivals anything you'd grab off a store shelf. They come together quickly and store well in an airtight container, so you can batch them ahead for snacking all week without any ingredient anxiety.
