Yield:
Roast Squash
Cut pumpkin in half, remove seeds and strings, rub both sides with 2 TB butter. Season with lots of salt and pepper. Bake at 400° on a cookie sheet, cut side up, covered with foil, for about 1 hour, until completely tender.
Mix crumbs and 4 TB melted butter with chopped sage and salt and pepper. Divide between the two cooked halves and return to oven for 20 minutes until crumbs turn golden color.
Fry Sage Leaves
Heat oil over medium heat in small pan, adding 6-8 leaves at a time, fry until crisp, drain and sprinkle with salt. Garnish tops of Roast Squash with Fried Sage Leaves.
