Ingredients

2 recipes prepared cornbread, crumbled into 1" pieces and allowed to dry, uncovered, overnight
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Place cornbread stuffing in prepared casserole dish. Bake uncovered until golden brown on top and heated through, about 45 minutes. If stuffing starts to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
