Ingredients
- Marshmallows (regular or jumbo size)
- Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper (optional)
(Optional additions for serving)
- Graham crackers
- Chocolate squares
- Caramel drizzle
How To Make Air Fryer Roasted Marshmallows
- Prep the basket: Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick spray to avoid sticking.
- Arrange marshmallows: Place marshmallows in a single layer with space between each.
- Air fry: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 3–4 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Keep a close eye—marshmallows roast quickly!
- Cool slightly: Let them rest for 1–2 minutes before eating to avoid burns.
You Must Know
- Marshmallows expand while cooking, so don’t overcrowd the basket.
- Every air fryer heats differently—check at the 2-minute mark to prevent burning.
- Best eaten immediately while warm and gooey.
Topping Variations
- Classic S’mores: Sandwich roasted marshmallows between graham crackers with chocolate.
- Peanut Butter Drizzle: Top with melted peanut butter for a nutty twist.
- Caramel Crunch: Add caramel sauce and a sprinkle of crushed biscuits.
- Nutella Swirl: Spread Nutella on crackers and top with roasted marshmallows.
Make It A Meal
Turn your marshmallows into a fun dessert spread:
- Serve alongside air fryer brownies or cookies for dipping.
- Pair with fresh fruit skewers for balance.
- Build a DIY s’mores bar with different toppings (biscuits, chocolate, spreads).
Pro Tips
- Use jumbo marshmallows for extra gooeyness.
- Toast one side, then flip for even roasting.
- Add aluminium foil under parchment to avoid sticky clean-up.
- For a smoky flavour, sprinkle a pinch of smoked sea salt on top.
