Gut Friendly Maple & Seaweed Snack Squares
Salty, sweet, and deeply savory, these baked nori squares hit a snacking note that feels almost addictive — in the best possible way. The glaze brings together coconut aminos, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, and ginger into something genuinely complex, and the double-layer nori construction gives each little square a satisfying crispness that holds up beautifully right out of the oven. Every ingredient here is chosen with digestive ease in mind — cassava flour and arrowroot starch keep the base light and grain-free, while apple cider vinegar and ginger are longtime favorites for supporting a happy gut. Seaweed itself is a quietly powerful ingredient, rich in minerals and gentle on the digestive system, making it a smart base for a snack that actually does something good for you. The whole process is straightforward: whisk, paste, layer, glaze, bake — and twelve crispy little squares come out ready to eat. They're the kind of thing you'll want to make on a Sunday and feel quietly smug about all week.
