Air Fryer Roasted marshmallows

Craving campfire marshmallows but don’t have a fire? The air fryer is your new best friend. In just minutes, you can achieve that golden, gooey, roasted marshmallow flavour—no sticks or flames required.

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

1. Prep the basket: Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick spray to avoid sticking.
2. Arrange marshmallows: Place marshmallows in a single layer with space between each.
3. 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!
4. 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.
