Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic, sage, and thyme, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Combine the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed cornbread, sautéed vegetables, parsley, salt, and pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth gradually, mixing until just combined. You want the mixture to be moist but not soggy.

Bake the Stuffing

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers from your meal, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. This stuffing reheats beautifully, retaining its moisture and flavor. Simply warm it in the oven or microwave, adding a splash of vegetable broth to revive moisture if necessary.

You can also freeze the stuffing for longer storage. Place it in a freezer-safe container, and it can last up to three months. When ready to enjoy, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven until warmed through.

Customization Ideas

Feel free to customize this stuffing recipe to suit your taste preferences. You can add cooked sausage for a meatier option, or include nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch. Dried fruits such as cranberries or apricots can also bring a touch of sweetness and a unique flavor twist.

Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your signature blend. Adding a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes can give it a spicy kick, while a hint of lemon zest can brighten the flavors. The versatility of this stuffing allows you to make it truly your own!
