Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
• 1 large sweet potato, peeled and halved crosswise
• 9 fresh sage leaves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut sweet potato into spaghetti-like ribbons with a spiralizer.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potato ribbons; cook, stirring often and adding more oil to prevent sticking, until starting to soften, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Step 3

Heat butter in the same skillet until melted and foaming, about 1 minute. Add sage leaves; swirl until butter is a rich caramel color and leaves are crisp and dark green, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove sage leaves from the butter. Add sweet potato; stir to coat well.

Step 4

Season sweet potato with salt and garnish with crisp sage leaves.
