# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, cranberries, sage, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and melted butter. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly moistened.
04 - Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Using clean hands, form the mixture into balls measuring approximately 2.5 to 3.8 cm in diameter.
05 - Place the shaped balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring adequate spacing between each to allow for even cooking. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through until golden brown.
