How do I prevent the seaweed from burning during baking?

Bake at a low temperature (around 140°C/285°F) and monitor closely during the last few minutes to avoid overcooking or burning.

Can I substitute tamari with another sauce?

You can use gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos as alternatives while maintaining the savory profile.

Layering enhances texture by creating crispy, chewy bites infused evenly with the seasoning mixture.

Try dusting with smoked paprika or furikake before baking to introduce smoky or umami notes.

Store in an airtight container once completely cooled to maintain crispness for several days.
