A quick and easy air fryer recipe featuring Hasselback sweet potatoes with a sweet marshmallow drizzle, perfect for cozy family gatherings and holiday dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional toppings: chopped pecans or walnuts, pinch of sea salt, drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 3 medium sweet potatoes. Make 1/8-inch thick slices across each potato, stopping about 1/4 inch before cutting all the way through to keep the potato intact at the bottom.
  2. Brush the sweet potatoes evenly with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket cut side up, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 12 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10-13 minutes until edges are crispy and centers are tender.
  5. While the potatoes cook, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup mini marshmallows until smooth and glossy. If thick, microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring in between.
  6. Remove sweet potatoes from the air fryer. Using a pastry brush, drizzle the melted marshmallow mixture over the potatoes, letting it seep between the slices.
  7. Return to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until the marshmallow topping is lightly browned and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with optional chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt. Serve warm.

Notes

Use chopsticks on either side of the potato as a slicing guide to avoid cutting all the way through. Watch the marshmallow closely during the final cook to prevent burning. For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil and use vegan marshmallows. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
