Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Ice Bath

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place 4 eggs in the basket of an air fryer.
  • Cook at 250°F for 15 minutes (for a creamier yolk) or 17 minutes (for a firmer, dryer yolk).
  • Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water. Let sit for 15 minutes, then peel.

Notes

  • Choose eggs of a similar size. Eggs within the same carton can vary in size. Use large eggs (about 57g/2oz each) for the cooking times given. If your eggs are slightly larger or smaller, add or subtract 2 minutes, respectively.
  • Batch cook large quantities of eggs. Since air fryer hard boiled eggs last for about a week in the refrigerator, you can air fry several eggs in batches of 4 (or the amount you know your air fryer can hold) and store them for a quick snack or meal addition.
  • Use older eggs. Fresh eggs are more difficult to peel. Just check the expiration date on the package. If you are within a couple of weeks of the date, they should peel more easily!
