Preheat oven to 325°F. 

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lay the nori in a single layer. 

In a small bowl, whisk the oil and honey or syrup until well blended. 

Add in cayenne if using. Using a pastry brush, brush the nori with mixture until well coated. 

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and salt if desired. Bake in oven for 5 minutes until seeds are light brown. 

When the nori is cool enough, flip it over and brush the other side with mixture and sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds. Bake another 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

Once cool, cut or break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
