Healthy Snack for Toddler - Roasted Nori Seaweed

Source:  smartbitesforbaby 

Buy the large Japanese nori sheets – pictured with Magnus – because they come unflavored and unsalted. They are usually not as crunchy as the Korean-style nori, but you can roast them quickly in the oven, sprinkle salt (or not) and they are just as crunchy without containing too much salt.
