For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese just before serving. Butternut squash makes an excellent substitute for sweet potato in this recipe. Be careful not to burn the butter; watch it closely and adjust the heat as needed. The browning process happens quickly! The key to crispy sage is to use dry leaves and not overcrowd the pan.
