Ingredients

Squash

  • 1 medium Delicata squash
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Crispy Sage Leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Prepare the squash by cleaning it and trimming the ends. Slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Cut the prepped squash into 1/2 inch thick slices.
  • Peel and chop the onion into 1 inch pieces.
  • Add the squash and onions to a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss until all the squash is coated.
  • Roast the squash at 425° for 20 minutes, or until it is fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat a thin layer of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Dip the tip of a sage leaf into the oil and if it sizzles, it is ready to fry the sage leaves.
  • Add the sage leaves in small batches to the oil and cook for 30 seconds until they are crisped. Remove the leaves from the oil with a kitchen tong onto a paper towel. Repeat until all the sage leaves are fried.
  • When the squash is roasted, remove from the oven and add to a bowl. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with crispy sage leaves. Enjoy!

Notes

It works better to crisp the sage leaves in a few batches so you don't accidently burn them, as they cook quickly.
