  • Toast the nuts: Toasting the nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or you can spread them on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a variety of herbs: Herbs like sage, thyme, and rosemary add a lot of flavor to the stuffing. You can use fresh or dried herbs, but fresh herbs will give you the best flavor.
  • Don't overstuff the stuffing: If you overstuff the stuffing, it will be dry and crumbly. Aim for about 1 cup of stuffing per person.
  • Bake the stuffing until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the stuffing is cooked through and has a nice crispy crust.
