Fried Sage Leaves with Lemon is a classic Italian appetizer recipe, fried sage leaves are delightful for weekend parties and gatherings. These simple sages leaves are transformed into light and crispy “wafers” that make the perfect delicate appetizer.
When frying, make sure the oil is hot enough so the leaves cook quickly and absorb less oil. Yet, don’t let the oil get too hot or the leaves will burn instantly. When cooking at high temperatures, use oils that maintain their nutritive properties at high heat such as coconut or grapeseed.
