Description
Air fryer hard boiled eggs are one of those kitchen shortcuts that feel almost too easy to be true. You get tender whites, creamy yolks, and hardly any hands-on work, which makes this method perfect for busy mornings, weekly meal prep, or quick protein snacks when you want something simple and reliable.
Ingredients
6 large eggs
ice
cold water
Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer to 270°F.
2. Place the eggs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
3. Cook for 15 to 17 minutes, depending on your air fryer and preferred yolk firmness.
4. While the eggs cook, prepare a bowl of ice and cold water.
5. Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice bath and let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
6. Peel and serve immediately, or refrigerate for later.
Notes
Use large eggs for the most consistent cooking results.
An ice bath helps stop the cooking and makes peeling easier.
If your air fryer runs hot, start checking at 15 minutes for the best texture.
