How To Make Stuffed Candied Sweet Potatoes In An Air Fryer
- Prick sweet potatoes with fork. Rub with oil and salt. Transfer to air fryer basket. Air fry at 400ºF for 40-45 minutes or until tender and cooked through. Let cool enough to safely handle.
- Cut sweet potatoes in half, lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the insides leaving the skins intact. Transfer sweet potato filling to large bowl.
- Add butter, brown sugar, nutmeg. cinnamon and a pinch of salt to bowl. Mash until evenly combined.
- Spoon filling mixture back into skins. Top with pecans and marshmallows. Gently press the marshmallows down into the filling to prevent them from flying off.
- Air fry at 400ºF for 2-4 minutes depending how browned you want your marshmallows. Serve immediately.
Cooking time varies depending on each air fryer brand. I have owned several different air fryers and each brand cooked very differently. Use this recipe as a guideline or starting point and adjust depending on your air fryer.
