Beer-Battered Fried Sage Leaves

These crispy beer-battered sage leaves make a delicious appetizer, snack, or garnish. The beer creates a light, airy batter that crisps beautifully when fried.

Ingredients
20–30 large fresh sage leaves
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup cold beer
Oil for frying
Directions
1. Prepare the Sage
Wash the sage leaves and pat them completely dry.
2. Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together:
½ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Gradually whisk in the cold beer until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be similar in consistency to thin pancake batter.

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

3. Heat the Oil
Pour 1–2 inches of oil into a small saucepan or deep skillet.
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

4. Batter and Fry
Hold each sage leaf by the stem and dip it into the batter.
Allow excess batter to drip off.
Carefully place the leaf into the hot oil.
Fry for 30–60 seconds, turning once, until golden brown and crisp.

5. Drain and Season
Remove with a slotted spoon.
Drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
Sprinkle lightly with salt while hot.

Serve as:
A crispy appetizer
A garnish for soups
A topping for roasted squash dishes
A crunchy addition to charcuterie boards

Purchase fresh sage leaves at the LMH market this week for only $1 per bunch and make this delicious recipe!

If you have ever considered adding goats to your property, we have several young bucklings that will be weathered soon and ready for new pastures.
Some are quite friendly and would make great companions/ pets, while others would stock the freezer nicely by next spring. Message me if interested.
