To substitute ground sage for fresh sage leaves, use about one teaspoon of ground sage for every tablespoon of fresh sage leaves. This is because ground spices are more concentrated than fresh herbs. If you’re using dried sage leaves instead, the conversion is similar, with one tablespoon of dried sage equating to one teaspoon of ground sage. Adjust according to taste, as the flavor intensity may vary.
