For best results, use slightly stale bread that is dry to the touch. This will help the stuffing balls hold their shape and achieve a crispy exterior. Feel free to add other herbs and spices to your stuffing mixture, such as sage, thyme, or rosemary. You can also add dried cranberries or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture. To freeze the stuffing balls, let them cool completely after air frying. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, air fry from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through. If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the stuffing balls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
