I remember one of the first times that Bob and I went grocery shopping together to pick up some food while we were traveling.
I grabbed a cart headed for the produce section, and Bob wandered off in another direction. We met back up in the middle aisle and compared our findings… I had fresh fruits, and Bob had bags of dried seaweed.
Seaweed? Dried seaweed? You’re going to eat that? Really? Seaweed? I had never eaten or even seen dried seaweed before. From that day on, it became a staple in our lives. I have come to like it, but I don’t love it like Bob. I don’t care for it as my main snack, but I do enjoy it in small doses mixed up with other ingredients.
Much like this treat… smother it with “cheesy” chipotle sauce, and then we are talking serious business. I have seen this type of recipe made in rolls, which I am sure I will be making soon but I thought it would be nice to make them into crackers. This recipe will yield five sheets of nori crackers. But because I can’t ever leave anything alone, I started getting creative with the toppings. Each sheet ended up with something different.
The nori has two sides. One side is shinier then the other, and the shinier side should always face outside, so the sushi rice is always applied on the rougher side. The sushi rice must be placed on the rougher side because it absorbs more moisture and sticks to the rice better.
I adapted and slightly modified this recipe from my Spicy Touchdown Cheese Sauce recipe. Shoot you could use about any raw cheese sauce on these, and they would taste amazing. I have been really enjoying ground cumin lately in many of my recipes. Not only do I love the flavor of it, but it is also known for many great health benefits;
It is known to help control stomach pain, indigestion, diarrhea, nausea, and morning sickness. It is also found to be effective in stimulating the menstrual cycle in women. That is just to list a few. It is one the most aromatic spices; cumin gives off a pungent earthy aroma that is warm and almost sweet with hints of pine and lemon. The flavor is strong and slightly bitter with a fresh somewhat herbaceous finish. Goodness, I almost sound like a connoisseur!
Ingredients:Yields 5 nori sheets treats
Toppings:
I stuck a quarter on top of the cracker so you get a feel for just how thin these are.
I wish I had the time and space in my waistline to try all your recipes. This looks great and I’m planning on sharing with friends. Thank you!

Hi Ami Sue,
I made this dish and it was delicious!! There was only one problem! I could not stop eating them!! So I will give myself sometime before I make them again. This a truly heavenly recipe….Thank you….what a great creative raw chef you are…you should be making books!!
Good morning Millie… I understand, I was lucky that I even got pictures taken before Bob gobbled them all up. haha Thank you for commenting and glad that you enjoyed them! Have a blessed day, amie sue
Look, lady…. I can’t be monopolizing all my days off making yummy food. These were SO YUMMY they didn’t even last a week! When I first took them out of the dehydrator, I kept trying them and trying them- because I’d have one, then think, “OK, that couldn’t possibly be as yummy as I think it just was.” That went on for several “tries.” Good grief. So good. OK, I gotta go make more… Now. :)
lol Cheynne… you be talking to me? :) I always love your comments, they make my day. Thanks for letting me know that you have no self-control. mahaha Just teasing you. Happy to hear that you are enjoying them. Have a blessed day. amie sue
Hi, I am new to raw food preparation so please forgive my naïve questions. I do not like any fishy tastes but I love crackers. Other than the nori sheets, your recipe sounds delicious. Are the nori sheets necessary? If so, is there anything I can use in place of nori sheets? I look forward to trying this recipe.
Ho Carolyn,
No such thing as naive questions. We learn new things everyday, it is what keeps us going. :) If you don’t like nori sheets then I would skip this recipe. Maybe try my cheese kale chips that you can find under “Kale Chips”. Have a great evening, amie sue
Hallo Amy Sue,
just made your Nori Crisps and although I did not like them too much as I got them out of dehydrator last night, when they cooled and I tasted them this morning, it was love at first bite. Wow! Amazing!
lol, well thank you Alex for trying the recipe. I am so happy that you ended up enjoying them. :) I appreciate the comment. Have a great day. amie sue
Please can you advise an alternative for the Chipotle powder as i cannot find it where I live.
regards
Joanne
Hello Joanne,
Chili powder can be used. Chipotle powder has a bit of a smokey hint and a hot spiciness to it so you can add a touch of liquid smoke if you want that flavor and maybe a little red pepper flakes. Just depends on how “hot / spicy” your chili powder is. I hope this helps, amie sue
I just found your website and I am in love with the look, the feel , the recipes, the comments by people who feel as I do, and of course YOU!!!
You are an inspiration to my raw journey. Thank you for being you!! And doing ALL that you do! :)
