Equipment
- Sharp European Induction Cooktop
Ingredients
- 2-3 delicata squash about 1 1/2 pounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter salted
- 20 fresh sage leaves
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Slice delicata squash in half moons. If you’ve never prepared delicata squash before, look at this tutorial on how to cook delicata squash.
- Heat a large frying pan with a lid over medium heat. Melt butter and add olive oil to the pan. Add sage leaves to the hot oil, spreading out in a single layer. Allow to fry until they start to turn brown around the edges, and then remove from the skillet.
- Into the sage-infused oil, add the delicata squash in a single layer. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Don’t overcrowd the pan, which will prevent browning. I cook my squash in batches.
- Cover the pan with a lid and allow to cook for about 6 minutes, until the squash has started to brown.
- Flip squash over, and allow the other side to brown, about 4 minutes.
- Add to a serving platter, and sprinkle with grated parmesan. Garnish the dish with crispy sage.
