Fried Sage Leaves

Fried Sage Leaves

These are the potato chips of the herb world!

Whole leaves from 1 bunch Red Dog sage
Extra-virgin olive oil, enough to coat entire bottom of skillet
Kosher salt, for sprinkling

Coat the bottom of a skillet with extra-virgin olive oil, heat until shimmering then add sage leaves in a single layer. Watch them closely as it only takes about 30 seconds or so for them to crisp up, then remove them with a slotted spoon. Put them on a plate lined with paper towels then transfer them to a serving plate. Sprinkle immediately with salt to taste. Repeat in batches until all sage leaves are fried.
