Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs
Description
Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs provides a hands-off way to cook eggs by using an air fryer set to 250°F for 17 minutes. Eggs are placed directly into the air fryer basket and cooked evenly by hot circulating air. After cooking, placing the eggs in an ice bath quickly cools them, preventing overcooking and making shells simpler to remove. This method can be easily adjusted for soft-boiled eggs by reducing cook time. The lack of water involved in cooking reduces mess and cleanup.
The result yields firm, evenly cooked eggs with tender yolks. The eggshells should peel cleanly after cooling. This approach can be useful when you want a different way to hard boil eggs without boiling water or stove use.
You can scale the quantity up to 10 eggs if your air fryer comfortably holds them, but timing may vary depending on the model and egg size. No preheating is necessary for the air fryer in this recipe.

Instructions

Notes

- Do not preheat the air fryer before placing the eggs inside for this recipe.
- You can cook up to 10 eggs at once if your air fryer basket is large enough.
- After cooking, immediately place eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking process and help with peeling.
