Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Alternatively, you can use a dry skillet on the stovetop if you prefer.
Lay the nori sheets flat on a clean surface. Use a pastry brush or your fingertips to lightly coat one side of each sheet with sesame oil.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds and a pinch of sea salt evenly over the oiled side of the nori sheets.
If using the oven, arrange the nori sheets in a single layer on a baking sheet. If you're using a skillet, warm a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Toast the nori sheets in the oven for 6-8 minutes or until they become crisp and slightly darker in color. If using a skillet, toast each sheet individually by placing it in the dry skillet and pressing it down lightly with a spatula for 30-45 seconds per side.
Once toasted, remove from the heat and let the nori cool completely. It will crisp up further as it cools.
Using scissors or a sharp knife, cut the toasted nori into bite-sized squares or strips.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain crispness.
