Notes
** CALORIE INFORMATION IS APPROXIMATE. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL FOR MORE ACCURATE INFORMATIONNotes- If you have the big marshmallows, cut them into 4 pieces each. I used a pair of scissors because they work fast. You can use a knife too.Total cook times- In the air fryer - these tarts cook about 2 at a time depending on the size of your air fryer. Total time - 30 minutes (Not including the sweet potato baking time)- In the oven - you can cook 4 tarts at once and they will take about 45 minutesTips
You can use Muffin tray instead of using the tart pans I used.
Marshmallows are not important this recipe. The tartlets will taste just as good with only a pecan top.
The chia egg is key to this recipe. It binds the sweet potatoes. So, don't skip it.
My recipe makes 4 mini tartlets. My air fryer is the Cosori Max XL
If you are using marshmallows, be sure to put it in right before you are ready to serve. They will taste great when they are still hot
For the non-dairy milk, I used almond milk, but coconut milk works just as well
This recipe makes more pecan crumble then needed. I use the remaining for other recipes.
You don't need to make the pecan crumble. You can eliminate the flour and just use pecans, sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
If you are using the oven method, please be sure to put the tart pan on a baking dish. The marshmallow can spill out of the pan and into your oven. Believe me, when I say that it makes a HUGE mess.
I served the tartlets right out of the pan. You can remove them from the pan first, before serving. I just found that they are less messy when served out of the pan.
The sweet potato skins can be put into compost or used to make vegetable stock.
Don't leave the vegan marshmallows outside, once removed from their bag. They tend to get sticky and harder to work with. Refrigerate them.
