Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Transform the sweet potato into delicate strands using a spiralizer. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
6 mins

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the spiralized sweet potato and cook, stirring frequently and adding more oil if necessary to prevent sticking, until the sweet potato begins to soften. (Cook time: 6-7 minutes)

03

Step
0 mins

Transfer the softened sweet potato to a plate.

04

Step
1 mins

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams and develops a nutty aroma, indicating it's browning. (Cook time: 1 minute)

05

Step
2 mins

Add the sage leaves to the browned butter and swirl until the butter transforms into a rich caramel color and the sage leaves become crisp and deep green. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)

06

Step
0 mins

Carefully remove the now-crisp sage leaves from the skillet and set aside.

07

Step
0 mins

Return the sweet potato to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly in the brown butter.

08

Step
0 mins

Season generously with sea salt.

09

Step

Garnish with the reserved crisp sage leaves and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.
Butternut squash makes an excellent substitute for sweet potato in this recipe.
Be careful not to burn the butter; watch it closely and adjust the heat as needed. The browning process happens quickly!
The key to crispy sage is to use dry leaves and not overcrowd the pan.
