How To Make Hard-Boiled Eggs In The Air Fryer

Ingredients Used:

6-12 eggs

How To Make Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs

Set your eggs in a trivet or tray, anything to prevent them from flying around the air fryer.
I tried to get them not to roll. That was the hardest part of the recipe.
Set your temperature to 250 degrees F.(air fryer setting). Set your time for 16 minutes.

After the time is up, use tongs and place the cooked eggs directly into cold water, this will stop the cooking process. Let cool for about 5 minutes.

Then, once cool, peel and dice. Or, if you are not using them right away, put them in the refrigerator. They will store for about 3-5 days. It is recommended that you leave them unpeeled until ready to use.

Some Common Questions About Making Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

What Is An Ice Bath?

This is a bowl with ice and cold water. What it does for the hard-boiled eggs is it stops the cooking process. It also helps you peel the egg.

Can I Put Water Into The Air Fryer To Boil Them?

No, you need no water, none.

Should I Use Cold Eggs or Room Temperature?

Always use cold eggs.

How Long Can You Keep Hard Boiled Eggs?

They usually stay for about 4 to 5 days. They tend to keep better if you do not peel them.

How Do You Store Hard Boiled Eggs?

The best way to keep hard-boiled eggs is to keep them in an airtight container.

Can You Freeze Hard Boiled Eggs?

Yes, although it is only recommended that you freeze the hard-boiled eggs. Just toss the hard-boiled yolks into an airtight container. They should last between 1 and 2 months.

IMPORTANT NOTE!

The air fryer YOU OWN will ultimately determine how long your egg needs to be cooked for. While this is frustrating, but I am telling you, once you nail the time, it’s a game-changer My best advice for anyone starting and wanting to prepare this recipe is to try two eggs. Do not try an entire dozen eggs, then set your time and temperature, put them into an ice bath, which stops the cooking; wait a few minutes and peel them, are they done? Do they need a minute or two less or more, then add another two eggs and try the change you noted. Then on a piece of paper or your phone, write down the exact time and temperature used. The next time you are already, and by the 40th time, you won’t need your reminder.
