Instructions

  1. In a small frying pan or saucepan, pour about a ¼ inch layer of oil. You may need more or less oil depending on the pan size. Heat to about 350 F. I usually check that it’s hot by touching a piece of sage stem to the oil to make sure it sizzles.
  2. Remove sage leaves from the stems and drop a few at a time into the oil. Remove when the sage is just crispy but not browned. I find that the point where it just stops sizzling is the time to remove it. I think it’s kind of like waiting for the popcorn to stop popping!
  3. Set on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired. Cool before using.
