Equipment

Ingredients

3 large or 6 small sweet potatoes
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter
½ teaspoon pumpkin spice
½ teaspoon salt , optional
½ cup Mini marshmallows for topping
¼ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Wash and dry sweet potatoes, removing any blemishes if necessary.
Prepare sweet potatoes for air frying by piercing potatoes with a fork or knife 2-3 times in the center of the potato.
Spritz the outside of the potato with cooking spray or rub the outside of the potato with a little bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Place potatoes in the air fryer basket and air fry at 370°f for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender. Cool completely.
Once cooled, slice open the potatoes along the top in a diagonal line. Scoop out the inside pulp leaving the skin intact.
Place the the potato pulp, butter, brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium bowl. If you want, add some chopped pecans. Using a potato masher, mix until smooth.
Scoop potato filling back into the skin, top with marshmallows, and cook at 350°f for 5 minutes or until marshmallows have melted to desire toastiness.
Serve topped with chopped pecans if desired.

Notes

These sweet potatoes are large and 1 potato is enough to feed 2 people as a side dish. The nutritional information is taking this into consideration.
