Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs
Description
The recipe uses the air fryer to cook large eggs straight from the fridge at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 16 minutes, yielding fully cooked hard boiled eggs. Eggs can be placed on a rack in the basket or directly in the basket. Removing the eggs promptly to an ice bath cools them quickly, which helps develop a clean separation between the shell and egg for easier peeling.
The texture features set whites and firm yolks, consistent through the batch with minimal oversight. Adjusting time to 14 minutes creates slightly less cooked yolks if preferred.
Air fried hard boiled eggs can be eaten plain or seasoned and stored in the refrigerator for up to seven days. They make quick snacks or easy meal components without stovetop boiling.
Ingredients
- 8 large egg as many eggs as needed
Notes
- Season cooked eggs with salt, pepper, or seasoning blends like everything bagel spice for variety.
- Store peeled or unpeeled eggs in the fridge for up to 7 days to maintain freshness.
- Use tongs to safely handle hot eggs when transferring to the ice bath.
- Adjust cooking time slightly according to desired yolk doneness, with 14 minutes for softer yolks.
