Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Base
- 2 bags Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs (Frozen)
Streusel Topping
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 1/4 cup Cinnamon
- 1 cup Pretzels (Crushed)
- 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
Additional Topping
- 1 large bag Marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potato Base: Place the frozen sweet potato puffs evenly in an 8×8 foil pan to form the casserole base.
- Make and Apply Half of the Streusel: In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, crushed pretzels, and softened butter. Mix until well combined. Sprinkle half of this streusel mixture evenly over the sweet potato puffs in the pan.
- First Air Fry: Place the casserole pan in the air fryer set at 350°F (175°C) and cook for 10 minutes. This step warms the sweet potatoes and helps start the baking process for the streusel topping.
- Mix and Add Marshmallows: Remove the pan from the air fryer and gently stir the sweet potato puffs and streusel to combine. Flatten the puffs to one even layer. Next, top the casserole evenly with marshmallows, then sprinkle the remaining streusel mixture over the marshmallows.
- Second Air Fry: Return the pan to the air fryer at 350°F for another 10 minutes, or until the marshmallows are melted, golden brown, and slightly crispy on top.
- Serve: Carefully remove the casserole from the air fryer and serve warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy your sweet and savory treat!
Notes
- You can substitute regular tater tots for sweet potato puffs if preferred, though the flavor will differ.
- Keep an eye on the marshmallows during the final air-frying step to prevent burning.
- This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; reheat in the air fryer before serving to maintain crispiness.
- For a nutty twist, add chopped pecans or walnuts into the streusel mixture.
- Use a foil pan to avoid mess and for easy cleanup in the air fryer.
