Ingredients
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
5 cup 3/4-inch cubes crusty artisan white bread
-
¼ cup butter
-
1 ½ cup coarsely chopped, cored fennel
-
¾ cup chopped onion
-
¾ cup chopped apple
-
¼ cup pine nuts, toasted*
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
-
¾ - 1 cup vegetable broth
Directions
-
Preheat air fryer at 275°F. Lightly coat a 1- to 1 1/2-qt. casserole or other oven-safe dish* with cooking spray. Place bread cubes in air-fryer basket; cook 12 to 15 minutes or until dried and lightly golden, tossing occasionally.
-
Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add next three ingredients (through apple). Cook 6 to 8 minutes or just until tender, stirring occasionally.
-
In a large bowl combine bread cubes, fennel mixture, and next five ingredients (through pepper). Add enough broth to moisten. Spoon bread mixture into prepared dish. Cover with foil.
-
Place dish in air-fryer basket; cook 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown and crisp on top. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
*
If you can't find a casserole to fit in your air fryer, divide mixture among individual 10- to 12-ounce casserole dishes. Cook as above.
Toast 'em
Toasting the pine nuts for this stuffing will take the flavor to the next level. Try this easy skillet method.
In a dry skillet spread the pine nuts in a single layer. Cook over medium-low heat until fragrant and golden brown, stirring frequently. When the pine nuts are golden brown, immediately transfer them to a plate to stop the cooking.
