Equipment

Baking Dish - Small 500ml/1pint

Ingredients

170 g Sage & Onion Stuffing Mix
25 g Salted Butter
475 ml Boiling Water
Vegetable Spray Oil

Instructions

Put a kettle of water on to boil.
Measure 170g Stuffing Mix into a mixing bowl.
Add 25g Salted Butter.
Pour over 475ml Boiling Water.
Stir until all of the stuffing mix has absorbed the water and the butter has melted and mixed in.
Leave the stuffing to sit for 5 minutes so the water hydrates the mix.
If your air fryer has a preheat setting, start this now.
Spoon the stuffing into your dish. You must make sure that it fits into your air fryer with enough room to get it in and out.
Rough up the top so there are nice craggy bits to get crispy and crunchy. Spray with a little Vegetable Spray Oil.
Place the stuffing into the air fryer.
Air fry for 17 minutes at 170c/340f. This longer slower cooking is so the insides of the stuffing is properly heated and cooked.
Air fry for a further 3 minutes at 200c/390f to colour and crisp up the stuffing top.

Notes

This recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm, 24cm on the diagonal and 11cm deep.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can fit a 500ml/1pint dish in with sufficient room to get it in and out. The size is 16cm x 4cm deep.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit a smaller or larger dish in. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
