Ok, so I had never actually made crispy sage before…amazing! I am completely obsessed with it, and it is incredibly easy (bonus)! This is one of my new favorite ways to serve acorn squash. Not only is it beautiful, but the flavors are wonderful. If you like any kind of squash, you are bound to love this dish.
Wash squash, cut in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds.
Slice into pieces that are about 3/4 in. thick- beautiful, right??
Toss in olive oil and salt to coat and arrange on a foil lined baking sheet.
Grab a handful of fresh sage from the garden and get ready for brown butter magic! 😉
Ok, it may not look like much, but it tastes amazing! Melt the butter and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until a beautiful golden brown color. Pour it over your baked squash when it comes out of the oven. Ta-Da!
