Wondering if you can air fry that pack of Paxo Stuffing you've got? Yes you can! Here's how

Print Recipe Pin Recipe Save Recipe

Course Side Dish

Cuisine British

Servings people, depends on what pack you get

Equipment

1 Air fryer I used the Instant Vortex 5.7 litres
1 mixing bowl

Ingredients

1 pack Paxo Sage & Onion the size you need, they come in 3 different sizes
boiling water amount as per pack instructions, they do different pack sizes and they will all work with this recipe
1 knob unsalted butter make it a big knob! 🤣

Instructions

Follow the instructions on the pack (I use Sage & Onion) to make into balls and place in air fryer one by one allowing some space between them.
1 pack Paxo Sage & Onion, boiling water, 1 knob unsalted butter
10 minutes at 180℃ / 356 ℉ in air fryers that count down immediately (ie without a preheating phase), like the Ninja air fryers
8 minutes at 180°C / 356 ℉ in air fryers that count down after a preheating phase, like the Instant Brands air fryers
Move around half way (if you remember and are not too busy...). Enjoy!
Got a big pack of Paxo and can't fit all the balls at once? Do it in two or more batches, bear in mind that your air fryer will already be hot so you may have to add a little bit of time. Start with the above timings for your second batch, as it's easier to add time than take it away

Notes

Just like ovens, no two air fryers are the same and you’ll have to bear that in mind and check on your food

Will this work with my Air Fryer?

Yes, it will work with all air fryers. The one thing to bear in mind is whether your air fryer starts the countdown immediately (like the Ninja Air Fryers do when it starts or if it has a built-in preheating time before the countdown (like the Instant air fryers do).

But I give you timings for both. Not quite to your taste when it finishes? Add time, don't forget you can always add time but you can't take it away when cooking.

I have tried this in the Instant Vortex 5.7 litres, in the Ninja Foodi Flip Mini Oven and in the Cosori.

I also have recipes for Air Fryer Roast Chicken, Turkey Crown, Parsnips and Greek Roast Potatoes to complete your meal.

As well as Pressure Cooker Brussels Sprouts, Gammon and Cranberry-Glazed Gammon.
