Making hard-boiled eggs in the air fryer is super easy and mess-free—no water needed! Here’s how to do it:
Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs
Ingredients:
-
Eggs (as many as fit in your air fryer in a single layer)
Instructions:
-
Preheat air fryer to 270°F (130°C).
(If your air fryer doesn’t go that low, 275°F or 280°F is fine—just watch the cook time.) -
Place eggs in the basket in a single layer. No need to add water or oil.
-
Air fry for:
-
15–17 minutes for hard-boiled
-
12–14 minutes for medium-boiled
-
9–11 minutes for soft-boiled
-
-
Immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath for 5–10 minutes.
This stops the cooking and makes peeling easier. -
Peel and enjoy, or store in the fridge for up to 7 days.
Tips:
-
Use older eggs for easier peeling.
-
Mark your eggs if you’re doing soft vs hard in the same batch.
-
If your air fryer has hot spots, rotate the eggs halfway through.
