How to Make S’mores in an Air Fryer
Preparing Your Air Fryer
Before you start making your s’mores, you’ll need to preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees F. This will ensure that your s’mores cook evenly and get that perfect golden-brown color.
Making Air Fryer S’mores
To make air fryer s’mores, follow these simple steps:
- Place graham crackers in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Top each graham cracker with a marshmallow.
- Place the basket in the air fryer and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden-brown.
- Remove the basket from the air fryer and place a piece of chocolate on top of each marshmallow.
- Top with another graham cracker and gently press down to create a sandwich.
Preparation Steps
Making Air Fryer S’mores is a quick and easy process that can be done in just a few minutes. Here are the simple steps to follow:
Arranging the S’mores
To begin with, I arrange the s’mores by placing a graham cracker half on the bottom of the air fryer basket. Then, I place a piece of chocolate on top of the graham cracker. Next, I place a marshmallow on top of the chocolate, with the sticky side facing down.
I repeat this process for each s’more, making sure to place them in a single layer.
Cooking Time and Temperature
Once the s’mores are arranged, I preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
Then, I place the air fryer tray with the s’mores in the bottom of the air fryer basket. If necessary, I can use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
I cook the s’mores for 4 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown. The cooking time may vary depending on the air fryer recipe and the size of the marshmallows. I keep an eye on the s’mores during the cooking process to ensure they don’t burn.
Tips for Making Perfect Air Fryer S’mores
- Use room temperature marshmallows to ensure they cook evenly.
- If you prefer your s’mores extra gooey, use jumbo marshmallows.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate for a unique flavor.
- Don’t overcook your s’mores, or the marshmallows will become tough and chewy.
- Serve your s’mores immediately for the best texture and flavor.
