Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs
Description
Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs requires preheating the air fryer to 250°F. Eggs are placed gently into the basket and cooked for about 17 minutes to achieve a hard boiled texture. For softer yolks, reducing the time to 13 minutes is suggested. After cooking, eggs are transferred to an ice bath to halt cooking and facilitate easy peeling.
The eggs come out with firm whites and cooked yolks; yolk doneness can be controlled by adjusting cook time. Cooking eggs in the air fryer allows air circulation around them, so spacing and avoiding overcrowding is important for even results. Overcooking will cause yolks to become greenish and chalky but remain edible.
The ice bath is an essential step that quickly cools eggs to prevent overcooking and makes peeling simpler. This approach is convenient for small batches and requires no water on the stove, making cleanup easier.
