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.

This recipe was easy to follow and the squash turned out great. The spicy honey was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed the dish. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
