Golden stuffing in a spoon with celery and onion.

Turkey and ham are classic dinners. But a meal isn’t complete without our favorite holiday side dish. And this air fryer stuffing is always a hit with dinner guests! Another holiday side dish we love is Air Fryer Homemade Cornbread. For even more classic dishes, try the roasted turkey, and whole chicken

What makes this stuffing delicious is freshly chopped onions and celery for extra flavor. I also mix in just a little bit of fresh sage. With very little prep time, and all the flavor of traditional stuffing that has been baked, you are going to love this stuffing!

Ingredients needed to make stuffing in individual bowls.

Besides an air fryer and baking dish, to make this recipe you will need:

  • Chicken broth
  • Butter, melted
  • Celery Rib
  • Small Onion
  • Sage
  • Herb seasoned bread cubes

I used Stovetop Savory Herbs Stuffing Mix bread cubes. These delicious bread cubes are already seasoned and make this recipe even easier. If you want to make your own breadcrumbs from dry bread, it is super easy to do. 

This is the perfect combination of flavors, but you can also add other fresh vegetables such as mushrooms, one or two cloves garlic, or green onions.

How to make air fryer stuffing

To make this recipe, begin by adding the bread crumbs into a medium bowl. Next, add in the broth and the melted butter. Stir together until the bread cubes and the liquids are combined.

Next, add in the chopped celery and onion. Top the stuffing mixture with the sage and stir together until the bread cubes are well combined with the other ingredients.

Place the stuffing in air fryer basket and air Fry at 320 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes cooking time. Stir the stuffing halfway through cooking. The stuffing will be golden brown on top when done. Season with salt and black pepper as desired. (I prefer kosher salt)

FAQ’s 

What is the difference between stuffing and dressing?

Stuffing and dressing are really both the same thing. Stuffing is used for turkey filling, while dressing is usually in a separate dish.

What else can I stuff with this recipe?

You can stuff bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, and so much more. 

Can I use a stuffing mix instead of making homemade stuffing?

Absolutely. The biggest difference is not adding the celery, onion, and sage. But trust me, they make this a delicious recipe.

How do I reheat stuffing in the air fryer?

Place stuffing in air fryer safe dish, and heat at 320 degrees F for 3-5 minutes. If stuffing isn’t hot enough, add additional 2-3 minutes.
