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.

A: Preheating helps achieve an even golden colour, but it’s optional.
