Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cashews
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 sheets nori (seaweed)
Recipe Directions
- 1. Place all ingredients (except nori sheets) in food processor. Process until well combined.
- 2. You are making a large seaweed sandwich. In other words, spread mixture onto one sheet nori, similar to spreading thick peanut butter on a slice of bread.
- 3. Once well spread, place the second nori sheet on top of the spreaded mixture, similar to placing the final piece of bread on top of a sandwich.
- 4. Using clean kitchen scissors, gently cut the "sandwich" into four long strips.
- 5. Place strips directly into dehydrator to be dehydrated until crispy (approximately 8 hours). (Temperature - first hour on high [145 or so], lower to about 115 for the remaining time.) Once they are nearing completion, I like to cut them further into little squares, similar to the pictures shown.
- 6. After being dehydrated, they keep in the fridge quite nicely for up to 5 days.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianThese little seaweed crispies pack a major flavor punch. They MUST be dehydrated otherwise they will taste gross and be soggy!
You really want to let these dehydrate for as long as possible. I've suggested at least 8 hours minimum, but feel free to go way longer - even up to 24 hours. They are best when they are really crispy and when the inner spread has really dried out.
One of the reasons these are so fun and handy is that they travel very well once dehydrated, and they are an easy snack to keep in your purse or eat on the go at your desk.
The flavor is quite explosive and rich, so I find just one little seaweed crunchy will satisfy a savory craving so one batch lasts me a long time.
Note: if you do not like the taste of seaweed you will not like these salty snacks :)

Hi Nicky,
I am so glad you've been enjoying them. I was a bit nervous posting this one, because it's one of those "love-it-or-hate-it" recipes, I think!
Lately I find I like to use up any old nut pate this way (smoosh between two nori rolls and dehydrate). I also want to try double-decker ones some day!

Raw seaweed crunchies
After letting them dehydrate overnight, let me tell you how absolutely delicious these little gems are! They are addictive! I didn't notice any "fishy" smell or taste to them. This is an incredible recipe!!!

They smell more fishy than they actually taste like it. We use them all the time and I can't stand eating fish! I just checked my supply and saw I'm all out. I'll have to go to the store and get some more since this recipe looks so yummy! I think I'll try almonds instead of cashews only because cashews are very expensive where I live (on an island). I don't think I'll add any salt, either, since the nori sheets are already salty to me. I can't wait to try this recipe!

These sound lovely but I don’t have a dehydrator - can you some meow dehydrate them in another way?
Thank you ?

Hi, these seaweed snacks are my new obsession! Does anyone have any other recipes for this seaweed snack? Ideas? I just bought some with sesame seeds and red pepper and they are delicious, I have a child with a nut allergy so looking for alternatives. If anyone has any other filing ideas I would be grateful. Many thanks :)

Raw seaweed crunchies
I made these just how the recipe says except that I dehydrate at a max of 112F. I dehydrated mine for 13 hours and they are fabulous!

These are a fantastic snack! The spread compliments the salty seaweed perfectly. I don't dehydrate at a temp higher than 112F so I left them for about 13 hours. I will definitely make these again!

It looks great and I'd like to make tonight, but I have a question: do I need to hydrate the cashew before processing with the other ingredients?

No, there is no need to dehydrate the cashews!

All of the Nor sheets I see are toasted. Are there Raw Nor sheets??

They do exist, but they are hard to find! Depending on where you live, you might have to order them online.

They were too tangy and sweet for me. I think I expected a more savory flavor. What would you sub for the raisins to achieve that?

Raw seaweed crunchies
Hi RawLifer, I know you posted some time ago and you may have found a solution. I didn't use vinegar and instead just doubled the lemon juice. I didn't find them too tangy. However, like everyone else, they disappear quite fast. So, I will be doubling them up next time. I have an upcoming 4-day trip so will have make plenty to have over the four days. I also have an event coming up with church and can see also see this recipe as a filler for finger sandwiches after the event.

Hi Rhinda!
They are tangy and somewhat sweet-ish (although not a dessert) - agreed. Next time, perhaps reduce the raisins by at least half, or omit them completely.

Raw seaweed crunchies
Just made these. Totally a hit in our house. I had only fresh onion so used this and it was delicious. I agree that it tastes just like tuna.

So glad you loved these crunchies - it can be hard to keep them around for long! :)

Wow!!!! Made them yesterday and I fell in love last night. You may not agree, but I think they taste so much like tuna. So I plan to incorporate tomato, lettuce, sprouts, raw mustard on raw crackers to make tuna fish sandwich!!!! Thank you so much for this!!! You are genius.

Raw seaweed crunchies
These are my absolute new favourite. The ACV and sweetness from the raisins give the crackers such a pleasant flavour. Being a curry fanatic, I added a little Madras and cayenne and the result was wonderful. I'll be dallying up a batch again this Sunday! I wonder how they would taste as a sweet-style cracker....? I'll experiment and get back to you!
