Foglie di Salvia Fritte in Pastella, or Fried Sage Leaves in Batter, is a traditional Italian appetizer. Originating from the heart of Mediterranean cuisine, this dish highlights the aromatic essence of fresh sage leaves, coated in a light batter made from flour, water, and sometimes eggs, then shallow or deep-fried until golden. The crispy texture pairs beautifully with the earthy, herbal flavor of sage, making it a beloved treat often served during gatherings or festive meals. While sage leaves offer potential health benefits as they are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties, the frying process adds calories and fat, making moderation key when enjoying this dish. For a lighter option, alternative batter recipes or air frying can balance indulgence with health-conscious choices. Perfect as a snack or complement to a meal, this dish represents the simplicity and charm of Italian culinary traditions.
