Let’s make delicious seasoned seaweed easily at home without any smoke. Enjoy crispy, flavorful seaweed in just 5 minutes!
Ingredients
- 10 sheets of dried seaweed (gim)
- 2 tsp cooking oil
- 4 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Here’s a recipe for perfectly roasted seaweed, a simple yet satisfying side dish that’s always a hit! We’ll be using an air fryer to make crispy, flavorful seasoned seaweed in just 5 minutes. Say goodbye to the hassle of pan-frying and enjoy delicious homemade seaweed!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the oil mixture for the seaweed. Combine cooking oil and sesame oil in a 1:2 ratio. Using only sesame oil can cause the seaweed to burn easily, but adding cooking oil makes it much crispier. This ratio ensures both great flavor and texture.
Step 3
Once your oil mixture is ready, gently brush it evenly over the surface of each seaweed sheet. You can use a pastry brush for better coverage. After applying the oil, sprinkle the salt evenly over the top. The saltiness will enhance the seaweed’s natural flavor.
Step 4
Now, let’s cut the seaweed into bite-sized pieces. I find it easiest to cut each sheet in half lengthwise, and then into four sections crosswise, creating the perfect size for eating with rice. Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper. Arrange the cut seaweed pieces upright inside the basket. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, flip the seaweed pieces to the other side and air fry for another 2 minutes at 180°C (350°F). This ensures even crisping without burning.
Step 5
And voilà! Your delicious, homemade seasoned seaweed is ready. It smells wonderfully of sesame oil, just like the kind you buy from a specialty store. This easy air fryer recipe takes only 5 minutes and results in incredibly tasty roasted seaweed that’s perfect as a side dish or a snack. Enjoy!
