Almond Free Maple & Seaweed Snack Squares
These snack squares are a genuinely unexpected treat — crispy, umami-rich, and glazed with a sweet-tangy maple and coconut aminos mixture that makes them seriously hard to put down. The double-layered nori gets baked until the edges curl and the glaze dries into a deep, lacquered finish, giving you that satisfying crunch in every bite. A thin paste of cassava flour and arrowroot starch holds the layers together and adds just enough body without weighing things down. The glaze pulls in warm notes of turmeric and ginger alongside the maple syrup and apple cider vinegar, so the flavor is complex and bright all at once. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, snack time can feel like a minefield of shared-facility warnings and hidden ingredients — this one is built entirely from whole, simple pantry staples with no nuts anywhere in sight. Everything comes together on a single baking sheet, and the result is 12 crispy little squares that work equally well as an afternoon snack, a lunchbox addition, or a surprisingly elegant appetizer.
