When I did them they were very dark green, almost the same color of seaweed snacks. I rinsed then, patted them dry and toasted them in the oven. To do that I laid them in a single layer, on a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Set the oven at 450 degrees F, drizzle with olive oil. Check after about 10 minutes, cook to desired crispness,season to taste with salt. I usually put a clove of garlic or two so I have some roasted garlic as well.
