Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs
Air fryer hard boiled eggs are an easy way to make this staple recipe. There's no boiling water and you get perfectly cooked eggs, each and every time!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- fresh eggs
Instructions
- Add 1 dozen fresh eggs gently to your air fryer basket. It's ok if they form two layers.
- Return the basket to the machine, and make sure it's completely secure/closed.
- Set the temperature to 250 degrees, and the cook time to 16-17 minutes.
- Let the eggs cook.
- Once the timer beeps, let the eggs rest in the basket.
- Allow the eggs to rest until they're still warm, but no longer hot to the touch.
- Gently smush an egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, and peel discarding the shell.
- Transfer the peeled eggs to a clean bowl, and continue until all the eggs haven been peeled.
Notes
- Don't be alarmed if any of the eggs have a brown spot on them, it's just from the heat but won't affect taste, texture, or appearance if going into egg salad etc
- The air fryer is NOT a pressure cooker, please do not add any water to the basket. Only the eggs.
- My air fryer doesn't require preheating or have that option, which is accounted for in the cook time listed.
- Just like ovens, all air fryers may not cook the same.
- No green/gray discoloration around the edges of the yolks from over cooking like often happens with the traditional big old pot of boiling water method.
