Put the oil into a small sauce pot over low — medium heat. Test the oil by adding a pinch of salt to the oil. If it spitters right away, it’s ready.
Very carefully put the sage leaves into the oil. Use an oil splatter guard or the lid of a sauce pot quickly after dropping the sage. It will spitter out.
Leave the sage in the oil to fry for about 15 seconds. Remove and place on a paper towel to dry. This well help keep the crispness.
