Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
1 cup cornmeal
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
1 cup buttermilk
16 to 20 1/8-inch-thick slices peeled butternut squash (from 1 medium squash; use a mandoline)
Vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup honey
2 to 3 teaspoons hot sauce

Steps:

  • Mix 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a plate. Whisk the remaining 1 cup flour, the cornmeal, sage and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Pour the buttermilk into a medium bowl. Dredge the squash slices in the flour, dip in the buttermilk, then coat with the cornmeal mixture, shaking off any excess. Place on a rack set on a baking sheet.
  • Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Mix the honey and hot sauce in a small bowl.
  • Working in batches, fry the squash, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. (Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.) Remove with a slotted spoon and return to the rack to drain. Season with salt. Serve hot or at room temperature with the spicy honey.

The ingredients for this recipe are too expensive. I can't afford to make this dish on a regular basis.

This recipe is not for beginners. It's a bit complicated and requires some advanced cooking skills.

The spicy honey sauce is too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or adding some chili flakes to balance out the sweetness.

I followed the recipe exactly and the squash was still undercooked. I had to cook it for an additional 10 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The squash was so flavorful and the spicy honey sauce was the perfect complement.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. I had some roasted squash in the fridge, and this was the perfect way to use it up.

The squash was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed the dish. Next time, I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This butternut squash recipe is a keeper! The combination of sweet and spicy is perfect, and the squash is cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
