Sesame Free Ginger-Scallion Seaweed Snack Squares

Crispy, savory, and packed with umami, these seaweed snack squares hit that satisfying crunch you crave without a single drop of soy sauce or sesame oil in sight. Store-bought seaweed snacks are notorious for being seasoned with sesame, making them a minefield for anyone avoiding it — this homemade version sidesteps that entirely. Coconut aminos bring a rich, slightly sweet depth that mimics the salty-savory flavor you'd expect, while fresh ginger and scallion greens add a bright, aromatic lift that makes these anything but plain. The double-layer nori technique is a clever little move — sandwiching the glaze and scallions between two sheets means every bite is cohesive, not crumbly. A low-and-slow bake at 275°F keeps the nori from scorching while coaxing out that delicate crispness, and they firm up even more as they cool on the rack. Cut into squares, they're perfectly snackable straight from the pan or tucked into a lunchbox for something a little out of the ordinary.
