Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs

 

These Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs are quick and simple, with no boiling water needed. Easy to peel too! This is my new favorite way to cook hard boiled eggs.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Air Fry (photo 1). Set the eggs in the air fryer basket and cook at 250 degrees F for 15 minutes (for softer yolks) to 17 minutes (for firmer, dryer yolks). 

Cool (photo 2). Plunge the air fried eggs into an ice bath.

Peel (photo 3). Tap an egg with the back of a spoon gently to crack it. Re-submerge it in the ice bath, then take it out and finish peeling. Slice, season, and ENJOY!

Meal Prep Tip

Make a batch of hard boiled eggs in the air fryer on Sunday evening and have them ready to go for quick breakfasts, lunches or snacks all week long.

• Unpeeled hard boiled eggs can last in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Peeled hardboiled eggs can last 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator.

How to Use Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs

• Salad. Use hard boiled eggs as an addition to your favorite salad, or use them in Chef Salad, Avocado Egg Salad, 7 Layer Salad, or Healthy Potato Salad.
• Sandwich. Mash the eggs for a protein-packed sandwich filling, or add them to a Turkey Salad Sandwich to sneak in a little extra nutrition.
• Toast. For a simple breakfast, serve hard boiled eggs with toasted English Muffin Bread, or Rosemary Olive Oil Bread.
• Deviled Eggs. Since they’re so easy to peel, these eggs are great for making Curried Deviled Eggs and Avocado Deviled Eggs.

• Tips for Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs in the Air Fryer

• Don’t Skip the Cold Water Bath. After the eggs have finished cooking in the air fryer, it’s important to transfer them immediately into a bowl of cold water. This halts the cooking process, and the second submersion makes peeling easier.
• Experiment with Cooking Times. Depending on your air fryer and personal preferences, you may need to adjust the cooking time for your hard boiled eggs. I recommend making a single egg first, getting a feel for the amount of time needed, and then making a bigger batch.
• Remove Them Carefully. Use tongs (preferably silicone-coated tongs, which are grippy-er) to remove the eggs from the air fryer basket. Oven mitts are kind of cumbersome for this task, but obviously bare hands won’t do either. If you don’t have tongs, use a large serving spoon or ladle.
• Adjust for Your Air Fryer. Some air fryers, like the Ninja, won’t cook as low as 250 degrees F. If this is the case, set your air fryer to its lowest temperature and subtract a few minutes from the cooking time. Let the eggs rest before peeling; the carryover cooking will finish them.
