Description

Is there anything better than Dying Easter Eggs without all of the mess? Today, I give you my version of Air Fryer Easter Eggs.

Ingredients 

  • 12 eggs

Instructions

  • 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 sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Then color as directed.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

To Dye Easter Eggs:
  1. Prepare the Dye: In separate containers, mix water, vinegar, and food coloring or dye tablets to create the dye solutions. Use about 1 tablespoon of vinegar for every cup of water. You can also use natural ingredients like onion skins, beets, or turmeric to create homemade dyes.
  2. Dye the Eggs: Once the eggs are cooled and dry, gently lower them into the dye solutions using a spoon or tongs. Allow the eggs to soak in the dye for several minutes, or until they reach the desired color. For a marbled effect, you can gently swirl the eggs in the dye bath or add multiple colors.
  3. Remove and Dry: Once the eggs are dyed to your liking, remove them from the dye solution and place them on a drying rack or paper towels to dry. Avoid placing them directly on a surface, as the dye may transfer.
  4. Decorate (Optional): Once the eggs are dry, you can further decorate them with stickers, markers, or wax crayons to create fun designs and patterns.
  5. Display or Store: Once the eggs are dry and decorated, you can display them in a decorative basket or egg holder as part of your Easter decorations. If you plan to eat the eggs, store them in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
